Identification of tree species from the Peruvian tropical amazon “Selva Central” forests according to wood anatomy

The “Selva Central” of Peru is characterized by its forest species richness that produces quality wood for countless uses. Therefore, it necessary to identify the and macroscopic anatomy, which an important tool botanical identification tree species. For this purpose, 13 sawmills located in 3 provinces were selected exploit several Central”. Sampling representative woods was carried out, identified common names and, laboratory, they polished, examined, grouped similarity anatomical structure, leading identification. Twenty identified, belonging 17 genera, with emphasis on Lauraceae Fabaceae families. However, Moraceae, Meliaceae, Lecythidaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Bignoniaceae, Myristicaceae, Combretaceae, Burseraceae families also identified. structures all described, transversal longitudinal tangential cross section images collected, a key constructed. implications importance via anatomy discussed, terms controlling exploitation, traceability production chain, future development artificial intelligence tree-species method.
