Abstract

Several forest dynamics plot research projects in the East-Asia Pacific region of the International Long-Term Ecological Research network actively collect long-term data, and some of these large plots are members of the Center for Tropical Forest Science network. The wealth of forest plot data presents challenges in information management to researchers. In order to facilitate the management of these data, a Forest Dynamics Plot Database and Application Workshop was held in Taiwan 2009. This paper describes the results of the workshop that produced and tested an integrated information management framework. The goal for the framework was to demonstrate how fully documented data archives can be effectively used for data discovery, access, retrieval, analysis, and integration. Results from our work included setting up a database based on the Center for Tropical Forest Science structure on a local relational database (MySQL) server, an authentication interface, a metadata query web page, and 3 workflows to test the framework.

生态信息学在森林动态样地数据管理与共享中的应用

国际长期生态研究网络东亚太平洋地区的几个森林动态样地研究项目积极收集长期数据，其中一些大型样地是热带森林科学中心网络的成员。森林样地数据的丰富性给研究人员的信息管理带来了挑战。为了方便这些数据的管理，2009年在台湾举办了森林动态地块数据库和应用研讨会。本文描述了该研讨会的结果，该研讨会产生并测试了一个集成的信息管理框架。该框架的目标是演示如何将完整文档化的数据存档有效地用于数据发现、访问、检索、分析和集成。我们的工作成果包括:在本地关系数据库(MySQL)服务器上建立一个基于热带森林科学中心结构的数据库，一个认证接口，一个元数据查询网页，以及3个测试框架的工作流程。

期刊介绍： The Taiwan Journal of Forest Science is an academic publication that welcomes contributions from around the world. The journal covers all aspects of forest research, both basic and applied, including Forest Biology and Ecology (tree breeding, silviculture, soils, etc.), Forest Management (watershed management, forest pests and diseases, forest fire, wildlife, recreation, etc.), Biotechnology, and Wood Science. Manuscripts acceptable to the journal include (1) research papers, (2) research notes, (3) review articles, and (4) monographs. A research note differs from a research paper in its scope which is less-comprehensive, yet it contains important information. In other words, a research note offers an innovative perspective or new discovery which is worthy of early disclosure.
