“薪炭林”林种商榷

Questionable on Forest Category of Firewood Forest

目前我国将森林划分为五大林种,"薪炭林"是其中之一。分析"薪炭林"的概念及其与其它林种关系,结合林业生产经营管理实际,笔者认为,"薪炭林"作为一个林种划分并不妥当,且"薪炭林"作为一个林种在森林区划、经营管理中存在问题,"防护林、用材林、经济林、特种用途林"四大林种即可涵盖如今森林经营的各种模式,传统划分的"薪炭林",应该隶属于用材林,或是用材林中的一个亚林种。

In china,＂ firewood forest＂ is one of the five forest categories. According to the analysis and compar- ison between the＂firewood forest＂ and other forest categories, and combine with experimental management in forestry production, we think it is not very appropriate to classify＂firewood forest＂ as a special forest category, which has a lot of problems in forest division and management. The four main forest category-sheherbehs, tim- ber, economic forest and forests with special uses-can cover all the types of forest management nowadays. The ＂firewood forest＂ in the traditional assortment should belong to timber or a sub -class of it.
