Arbor Harbor

Arbor Harbor is a reference system linking information on trees and their global trade, especially species at risk of over harvesting. The system integrates data on taxonomy, conservation, geography, and trade regulations, all acquired from online databases or primary literature. Intended users include professionals or enthusiasts working with forest resources and their sustainable use. According to the information provided to the Secretariat, the system compiles taxonomic data from 25,000 timber producing taxa. The website provides information on wood identification tools, including: Direct Analysis in Real Time Mass Spectrometry (DART-TOFMS), Stable Isotope Ratio Analysis, and XyloTron image analysis.
