It has been used for thousands of years for both <a title=\"Fuel\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fuel\">fuel<\/a> and as a construction material. It is an organic material, a natural <a title=\"Composite material\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Composite_material\">composite<\/a> of <a title=\"Cellulose\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cellulose\">cellulose<\/a> fibers (which are strong in tension) embedded in a <a title=\"wikt:matrix\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wiktionary.org\/wiki\/matrix\">matrix<\/a> of <a title=\"Lignin\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Lignin\">lignin<\/a> which resists compression.

It also mediates the transfer of water and <a title=\"Nutrients\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Nutrients\">nutrients<\/a> to the <a title=\"Leaves\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Leaves\">leaves<\/a> and other growing tissues. Wood may also refer to other plant materials with comparable properties, and to material engineered from wood, or wood chips or fiber.<\/p>\n<p>The Earth contains about one trillion tonnes of wood, which grows at a rate of 10 billion tonnes per year. As an abundant, <a title=\"Carbon-neutral\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Carbon-neutral\">carbon-neutral<\/a> renewable resource, woody materials have been of intense interest as a source of renewable energy. In 1991, approximately 3.5 billion cubic meters of wood were harvested.
