Tatajuba is a durable, relatively dense wood that is also highly stable in use, in other words largely insensitive to variations in relative humidity. It draws that stability from metabolites produced when the sapwood* is converted into heartwood. This was recently demonstrated by researchers from the CNRS and CIRAD, who published their results in PloS One .
