Abstract |
The species Dalbergia cochinchinensis, also known as rosewood or Siam rosewood,
is an economically important tree because of the quality of its wood. In spite of being listed in
the Appendix II of CITES, illegal logging and the associated international trade in illegally
sourced wood products along the borders of Thailand, Laos and Cambodia remain a massive
threat to this species. This study was carried out to identify rosewood samples collected from
different localities of Thailand, Laos and Cambodia using morphological and anatomical
characteristics and FTIR, and to establish relationships between their elemental components
and the soil properties for identification of endemic species. The results revealed differences in
the FTIR patterns of the leaf and bark samples of rosewood and soil samples collected from
different countries, which might be due to the differences in the soil properties, humidity and
sunlight intensity. The information obtained from this study could be used as the pieces of
evidence in investigating illegal logging suspects and should be at least of assistance in
surveillance planning to prevent illegal logging of rosewood. |
