Wood is the most important natural and endlessly renewable source of energy and therefore has a major future role as an environmentally cost-effective alternative to burning fossils fuels. The major role of wood is not only the provision of energy but also the provision of energy-sufficient material

Temperate and boreal forest tree phenology: from organ-scale processes to terrestrial ecosystem models (2016, background): “This sequence is common to both angiosperms and gymnosperms but involves different cell types and molecular components, resulting in different tree-ring structures (Plomion et al. 2001).”
Hardwood tree biotechnology (2005, background): “…wall composition of TW, including reduced lignin content, higher cellulose content, presence of an inner cell wall G-layer, and lower microfibril angle (MFA), makes this an attractive model for genomic investigations into the control of wood formation (Plomion et al., 2001; Pilate et al., 2004).”
