very important natural resource which supported local/
regional building construction activities of man from
early civilization. Growth and abundance of particular
timber species is specifically connected to its
geographical context, namely to its climatic and soil
condition. A plant / timber species has an ecological
niche and it is part of local biodiversity web. So its
growth, utilization and decay within a geographical
context play a critical role in maintaining a healthy
environment. As a locally available material timber also
influence the development of vernacular architectural form
and character. It also has a strong contribution in
nurturing local craft tradition. |
