Nonconductive wood(NCW) is wood tissue that has been compartmentalized as part of the natural tree response to wounds(including tapping). It is no longer functional for water transport or metabolic functions, or viable for sap collection and therefore should be avoided when tapping. NCW is typically discolored(stained) relative to conductive sapwood. 3, record 1, English, - nonconductive%20wood

Il est bien connu que la blessure engendrée par l'entaillage ne se limite pas au trou. En effet, […] c'est l'inefficacité du mécanisme de défense (compartimentage) dans le sens longitudinal (sens des fibres) qui occasionne une zone de bois improductive en haut et en bas de l'entaille. C'est ce qu'on appelle le bois coloré. 3, record 1, French, - bois%20color%C3%A9

Each year, tapping for sap collection not only permanently removes a small amount of wood from the taphole itself, but, in addition, the tree's response to the taphole wound generates a ’'stained’’ column of wood extending above and below the taphole that remains permanently nonconductive to sap … 1, record 2, English, - taphole%20wound

Research into wood properties has been conducted at Oxford for over 50 years and the wood collection or xylarium now holds over 24, 750 wood samples. They represent approximately 8, 700 species, 2, 350 genera and 200 families. Microscope slides have been prepared for much of the collection, and the anatomical characteristics of every wood recorded on edge-punched cards. The collection of cards constitutes a key for the identification of hardwoods by their microscopic structure. It is used for taxonomic research and the identification of unknown specimens.
