In order to determine the achievements of windbreak planting since the Restoration of Taiwan, their presentconditions and future needs for the basis of management, the Joint Commission on Rural Reconstruction initiated an island-wide windbreak survey project in 1959. The Taiwan Agriculture and Forestry Aerial Survey Team was the Excuting Agency of this project while the Taiwan Forestry Bureau, the Taiwan Forest Research Institute and the Taiwan Provincial College of Agriculture were the Cooperating Agencies. The survey was based on a scale of 1/20,000 aerial photographs taken in 1956, plus field checks and delineations. The result of the delineations were then drawn on the 1/25,000\' base map from which the data was compiled and obtained. This survey covered a belt of land 10 kilometers from the seacoast along the main island of Taiwan, excluding mountainous areas, the Pescadores and off-shore islands. Within 200 meters from the\' coast, land use types was also surveyed in the nonforested area.
