*2012-02-05**NRMI: NATURAL RESOURCE MONITORING ITEMS OF INTEREST*

This Issue:*/Wood Density Values/ *and**Some Other Good Things

*Wood Density Values - *In December, Benktesh Sharma wrote, "I am 
looking forward of your assistance in finding some wood density values 
for some tree species /(Rytigynia kigeziensis, Galiniera coffeoides, 
Sinarundinaria alpine, Balthasarea schliebenii, Schefflera goetzenii, 
and Psydrax sp.) /within the context of Tropical Mountain Forests in 
Africa. I would also love to have a source of information if it is 
available. Thank you." Here are some sites that may be of interest. If 
you know of others, please contact Benktesh at benktesh at yahoo.com
