Timber research
Timber research involves studying wood and related materials to improve how we harvest, process, and use it sustainably. This includes exploring new ways to grow trees efficiently, develop stronger and more durable wood products, and understand how wood behaves under different conditions. Researchers also examine environmental impacts, such as how to reduce deforestation and promote conservation. The goal is to optimize timber's use as a renewable resource, supporting construction, furniture, and paper industries while minimizing ecological footprint and ensuring future forest health.
