1.Discipline Construction

Since 1999, the University has worked out a plan for the construction and development of disciplines and established a discipline construction-oriented ideology, under which reform in the discipline system has been actively and stably promoted, discipline-based administration has been fully implemented and more importance has been attached to supporting the disciplines that have their own features. So far, the University has 31 disciplines, out of which 2 are key disciplines at the provincial level, 3 are key disciplines greatly supported by the provincial government, and 11 others are within the category of key disciplines of the University. Some of the disciplines and their research orientations are as follows:

Note: *a key discipline at the provincial level; **a key discipline supported by the provincial government; ***a key discipline at the University level.

In addition, there exist such disciplines at the University as Human Geography, Tourist Management, Botany, Biotechnology, Processing and Storage Engineering of Agricultural Produce, Environmental Engineering, Design Arts, the Fine Arts, International Trade, Enterprise Management, Politics, Media, Physics, Chemistry, Athletics, Science and Engineering of Management, Introduction to Computer Science, and Common English.

2. Scientific Research

In recent years, the scope of the University has been increasingly expanded and the level of the University has been increasingly raised. Within the University, the number of projects and the fund for research has increased year by year. So far, the University has had 27 institutes (research units) and assumed nearly 500 projects, out of which more than 50 are sponsored by the National Natural Science Foundation, the National Social Science Foundation, subprojects of 863 subprojects of 973, Projects of 948, projects of international cooperation, key projects of the Ministry of Education, etc. Since 1998, 74 projects have passed appraisals, two inventions has been patented, two projects has been awarded national prizes, 31 prizes either at the ministerial or provincial levels have been obtained, nearly 2,000 academic papers have been published at home and abroad, and over 120 textbooks or professional works have been published. In 2002, our University topped all the forestry colleges and universities throughout the country in published academic papers that had been included in SCI. Since 2000, the disposable fund for scientific research has been close to 50 million yuan. In recent years, more than 120 development projects have been completed, which have brought about economic benefits valued at 1.956 billion yuan.

For a long time, the scientific research conducted by the University has been focused on problems concerning the rural area, agriculture and farmers as well as ecological constructions. A number of research achievements combining fundamental research with applied research as well as serving our province have been made in the fields concerning regional economic development and ecological construction. Our University has our own features and edges in such fields as resources, cultivation, processing and utilization of bamboo, studies on selection, breeding and cultivation of such non-wood species as hickory, dogwood, red bayberry and Chinese torreya, studies on superior varieties and standardization of woody medicinal plants (flowering plants), techniques for directional breeding of timber species for industrial purposes, studies on bamboo charcoal and bamboo vinegar, studies on techniques for processing of bamboo culm and timber, studies on equipment for timber drying, studies on protection of forest resource diversity and capitalized management of forest resources, studies on environmental law, urban greening, remodeling of forest landscape, garden planning and designs, and urban forestry.

3. Development, Consultation and Service of Science and Technology

Since the establishment of the University, great importance has been attached to the overall quality including upgrading of both teachers and students, full play to our own edges in S & T, active provision of S & T service, and active implementation of activities in social practice, all of which have benefited the overall development of forestry in the mountainous regions and poverty alleviation of farmers. The University has established a close cooperation relationship in S & T with more than 40 cities, counties (regions) and over 100 townships in such 11 provinces as Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Fujian, Guizhou, Yunnan, Sichuan and Anhui, organized or participated in exchanges, consultation in S & T, provision of S & T for farmers, conversion of S & T achievements, technical guidance and extension, nurturing and training of talents, etc. all of which have strengthened contact and cooperation among the University, governments and departments at different levels and farmers, with good economic, social and ecological effects obtained.
