Abstract

SUMMARY A Fuelwood Value Index (FVI) was defined as (Calorific Value × Density)/(Ash Content × Water Content) to identify trees with potential for fuelwood production. The woods of forty four Indian mountain tree species were tested and their FVI calculated. The most promising species were Punica granatum, Sapindus mukorossi, Rhododendron arboreum, Quer cus spp., Adina cor difolia, Ougeinia dalbergioides and Pyrus pashia.
