摘要

檜木林是台灣的寶貴森林資源，過去對台灣林業經濟有很大的貢獻，在本世紀裡全島檜木砍伐量估計有1282萬立方公尺，其中品質最好的約236萬立方公尺，主供外銷日本，惟大部分（約82%）供自行使用。現今世界森林資源已遭受嚴重破壞，主要木材生産地區均採減少木材生産或出口，未來台灣進口木材將不如過去暢順，尤其是高價值的木材，故建議盡速營建未來檜木生産基地，增加對檜木林的投資。

Cypress forest is one of the most valuable resources in Taiwan's forest. It consists of Chamaecyparis obtusa var. formosana and Chamaecyparis formosensis, the former we usually call yellow cypress and the latter red cypress. Over the past eighty years, cypress timber production has played a very important role in the forest economy of Taiwan, especially in the period from 1960 to 1987. About 12million m^ 3 of cypress timber was harvested during this century, 18% of them or 2.36 million m^ 3 was exported. The main export market was Japan. But most of the harvested timber (about 82%) was consumed in domestic market. Because wood quality of cypress is very fine and price of the timber is expected to be higher in the future, it is recommended that Taiwan's cypress forests be managed intensively.
