| Abstract | Little information exists on the properties of tropical tree species that are now being used in plantations in different tropical countries including Ghana. In this study, the variation in chemical composition and natural durability of both plantation grown and natural African Mahogany harvested in Ghana were evaluated using TAPPI standards, ASTM D 1758-06 (2008) and AWPA E-7-07 (2008). The total extraneous materials in plantation grown Africa Mahogany was relatively higher than the natural stands. Results showed that the alcohol extractives in plantation and natural samples were 2.7 and 1.8% respectively. However, the natural samples recorded higher cellulose, holocellulose and lignin contents of 39.2, 32.2%; 66.4, 61.4% and 17.3, 15.2%. After 26 weeks of assessment of the natural durability under the graveyard test, the bottom portions of both types of mahoganies were rated as moderately attacked, the middle portion rated as moderate to severe attack while the top portion rated as severely attacked. Moreover, both the plantation grown and naturally grown mahoganies were rated as moderately to severely attacked after 26 weeks exposure in the field. It is recommended that as plantation of indigenous species are encouraged, their properties should be evaluated to enhance their acceptance and utilization. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
