Many of the compounds are rather common and are widely distributed among woody plants. However, they rarely occur in abundant quantities. Some of the compounds possess significant biological properties - e.g. they contribute to the resistance of plants to disease, pest insects, or grazing and foraging animals. The roles that many of the compounds play in the plants are, however, to a large extent unknown. None of the compounds included in this section has commercial use, but some of them contribute to the properties of the wood and influence the properties and the processing of forest products.
