文摘The historical transition of timber distribution pattern in China was presented firstly with main parts of timber flows in China,which included timber markets,timber transport system and regulations of timber transport.Based on the overview on tropical timber flows in China,the trade flows of tropical timber from production and imports of tropical timber to export of tropical timber products were analyzed by vivid illustrations.At the same time,problems in timber trade flows in China were analysed in the end.
