Science - Botany / forestry; trees
French term or phrase: tranche
Can anyone tell me exactly what 'tranche' means in the three examples below, all taken from descriptions of trees in Burkina Faso:

L’écorce est lisse, gris argenté à violacé, épaisse et fibreuse, à ***tranche marbrée de rouge et de blanc***. Rameaux gris légèrement pubescents et devenant glabres.

Le tronc est lisse à ***tranche rouge foncé.*** Les feuilles sont alternes, bifoliolées, coriaces et brillantes sur la face supérieure.

Le tronc est lisse, grisâtre, à ***tranche rougeâtre*** exsudant parfois une gomme rouge (Arbonnier, 2002). Les feuilles sont alternes, imparipennées avec 5-7 folioles opposées.
