摘要

一九入九年七月一日台灣省林業試驗所與美國最部林務署簽定協議，合作進行台灣美材市場之調查，在一九八入年秋季即開始進行美國木材在台灣使用狀況之研究工作，經問卷調查，有教問卷廠商共計有143家，其中有24家表示未曾使用美材，50家表示僅使用美闊葉樹材，28家表示僅使用美針葉樹材，41家表示美針葉樹材及闊葉樹材均使用。本研究發現台灣木材加工業廠商使用美材的樹種，相對而言其範圍較狹，相反地，使用美材的品等與厚度，則範圍較廣。橡木是闊葉樹中最普遍使用的樹種，鐵杉，側柏及羅森伯為針葉樹中最多使用之樹種，多數使用美材廠商認為今後台灣美材使用量仍會增加。

On July 1, 1987, a cooperative study of the Taiwanese market for American hardwood and softwood timber was initiated between the Taiwan Forestry Research Institute and the USDA Forest Service, under the auspices of the Office of International Cooperation and Development. As part of the overall study, Taiwanese users of U. S. timber were surveyed during the fall of 1988. A total of 143 questionnaires were received in response to this survey. Of these, 24 indicated they did not use American timber, 50 used only hardwood, 28 only softwood, and 41 both hardwood and softwood. Generally it was found that respondents tended to restrict their use of American timber to a relative few species, but were less restrictive in thickness and grade. Oak was clearly the predominate hardwood species. Hemlock, red cedar and Port Orford cedar were the most often mentioned softwood species in use. Overwhelmingly, respondents were of the belief that their future use of U. S. timber would increase.
