Agriculture
Portuguese term or phrase: material lenhoso
Original: "Com relação à avaliação das proporções de material comestível e de material lenhoso (não comestível), a cratília destacou-se, por apresentar altos valores para a razão material comestível/lenhoso, sendo superiores as demais leguminosas (Tabela 3). Essa leguminosa tem mostrado muitas vantagens, como alta retenção foliar, principalmente de folhas jovens, e uma boa capacidade de rebrote durante a época de seca, uma das suas principais características (Andersson et al., 2006). Entretanto, todas as leguminosas, na média dos tratamentos apresentaram resultados satisfatórios para esta característica."

Encontrei duas possibilidades: "woody material" e "Timber". Qual das duas (ou outra) é mais adequada?
