Stem and root comparative wood anatomy of (Calligonum comosum) In the deserts of Iran and short sight to technical properties of fabricated of particleboard from its wood

Understanding of many wood technological features depends on anatomical characteristics which, unfortunately, researchers in Iran have not focused on recently. There are many trees and shrubs in the desert areas of Dasht-e Kavir and Dasht-e Lut with unstudied woody anatomical features. We studied on...
