由中華林學會近十年（2001-2010）論文發表會論文初探林業研究之變化

Abstract

Through studying the articles published in the proceedings of the Chinese Forestry Association during 2001-2010, the shift trend of the forestry researches in Taiwan in last decade was analyzed. There are a total of 1,042 articles composed of oral and poster presentations. All articles were divided into two groups: as forestry and forest products sectors. The forestry sector was classified into 5 divisions of silviculture, ecology, forest management, forestry economy, and forest protection. The forest products sector as a whole was categorized as ”forest products utilization division”, which actually subdivides into wood physics, wood chemistry, and others (hard to categorize). The contribution rates of the forestry sector and the forest products sector were 66.4 and 33.6%, respectively. The article counts and rates of the silviculture, ecology, forest management, forestry economy, forest protection, and forest products utilization divisions were respectively 240 (23.0%), 139 (13.3%), 258 (24.8%), 27 (2.6%), 28 (2.7%), and 350 (33.6%). In the forest products utilization division, the subdivision articles counts of wood physics, wood chemistry, and others were 87 (8.4%), 222 (21.3%), and 41 (3.9%), respectively. In comparison, more articles were published in the fields of forest products utilization division; followed by forest management and silviculture divisions. The articles published by the forestry economy division were the least. Owing to diversification trend of the research fields, the broad classification mentioned above was hardly adequate in showing the shifting trend. Therefore, for further analyzing the shifts in details, this study made a further classification of the 6 main divisions into 25 subdivisions. The authors' affiliations were also compared. We expect that this study will be useful references to Taiwan's forestry research and education in the future.
