臺灣首次的高山學術探險：本多靜六之玉山行
Taiwan's First Alpine Academic Expedition - Honda Seiroku's Yushan Adventures
摘要
1896年日本林學家本多靜六等人在東京帝國大學「學術探險」計畫支持下，來臺攀登玉山，為臺灣首次的高山學術探險。此行經由清朝八通關古道登頂，期間對臺灣森林之調查及植物採集、紀錄等資料，不但成為其博士論文之一部分，也對日本帝國植物地理發表新的論述，其理論、方法與研究結果更擴展了當代日本學界對所謂「日本」（涵蓋琉球、臺灣）森林植物帶的視野。而在攀登過程當中亦觀察臺灣森林之現況，對於樟樹分布、樟腦產業改善以及木材資源調查及利用等提出見解。繼而建議東京帝國大學於此區域設立演習林，終於1902年成立東京帝國大學農學部附屬臺灣演習林，二戰後該校臺灣演習林由國立臺灣大學接收，為今日之國立臺灣大學生物資源暨農學院實驗林。本文除呈現本多靜六之探險結果外，亦進行田野調查，以重建當年所經路線，得以從歷史現場與文獻資料中印證不同時空之變遷。

In 1896, Japanese forestry professor Honda Seiroku and others explored Mount Morrison (now Yushan) with the support of the Tokyo Imperial University's academic expedition program. They climbed to the summit through the Patungkuan trail built during the Qing Dynasty. The investigation data from the forests in Taiwan formed part of Honda's doctoral dissertation. He published a new statement on the botanical geography of the Japanese Empire. His theories, methods, and research results expanded the scope of the so-called "Japanese" forest plant belts (including Ryukyu and Taiwan) in contemporary Japanese academia. During the climb, he also observed the forestry situation in Taiwan, providing insights into the distribution of camphor, improvement in the camphor industry, and research and utilization of timber resources. He suggested Tokyo Imperial University establish an experimental forest here. Thus, the Taiwan Experimental Forest of Tokyo Imperial University was established in 1902. After World War II, the Taiwan Experimental Forest was taken over by National Taiwan University and is now The Experimental Forest, National Taiwan University. We also conducted a field survey to reconstruct the route Hondo took during these years to verify changes in time and space using historical sites and documents.
