20世纪40年代“静生生物调查所”在云南

“Fan Memorial Institute of Biology” in Yunnan in the 1940s

静生生物调查所是抗战前我国成立最早的科研机构之一,抗战全面爆发后内迁云南,与地方政府与经济团体合办农林植物研究所,在云南生物调查研究与为云南地方经济服务方面都取得了重要成果。由于其专业性质与战时经济密切相关,得到了中央和地方政府的经费支持。与当时在昆的科研单位、院校更加窘迫的经费相比,虽研究经费依然困难,但基本上保证了研究人员的生活。在此条件下,研究所在植物调查与分类、经济植物与经济林木的调查与实验研究方面仍获得很大进展。

＂Fan Memorial Institute of Biology＂ was one of the earliest institutes of scientific research before the War of Resistance a- gainst Japan. After the War of Resistance against Japan broke out, it was moved to Yunnan and helped establish Yunnan Institute of Agriculture, Forestry and Botany which contributed much to the biological investigation and research in Yunnan and the service to Yun- nan~ economic development. Due to its professional quality closely related to the wartime economy, it received financial support from both the Central Government and the local government. Compared with other research institutes and universities in Kunming, it was better financed and the living conditions of its researchers were acceptable. Its achievements covered botanic investigation and classifi- cation as well as economic plants.
