Among the teachers, there are national talents 1 person, national experts in the evaluation of scientific and technological achievements transformation projects 1 person, 3 experts enjoying government subsidies in the State Council, 3 experts in Guizhou Province and 2 outstanding young scientific and technological talents in Guizhou Province. The development trend of teachers in this major is good, which conforms to the orientation of teaching and scientific research specialty and can meet the needs of teaching and discipline development.

Construction of scientific research team: Forestry specialty is based on the national ecological construction and the development of forestry industrialization, and carries out scientific research around the ecological environment construction in southwest karst mountainous areas and the major policy of building an ecological province in Guizhou. Through years of hard work, an academic echelon with stable research direction, fruitful scientific research results, rigorous scholarship, high level and reasonable structure has been built. At present, professional teachers undertake 37 national, provincial and ministerial projects, with a total subsidy of 6174,000 yuan. Main research directions: theory and technology of directional cultivation of plantation, theory and technology of tree seedling breeding, theory and technology of vegetation restoration of degraded karst forest, genetic improvement of forest trees, "3S" technology and its application, and community forestry.

Specialty characteristics and advantages: The specialty of forestry is closely combined with scientific research and personnel training, creating an academic atmosphere and improving students' innovative ability. Teachers of this major closely combine the actual situation of forestry ecological construction in Guizhou, and carry out research around the characteristics, hot spots and difficulties of forestry and ecological construction. The research results were quickly applied to local forestry and ecological construction, which produced huge social, economic and ecological benefits, and teachers' scientific literacy was also improved in the research. This major is based on the national ecological construction and the development of forestry industrialization, and carries out discipline construction and personnel training around the ecological environment construction in southwest karst mountainous areas and the policy of establishing a province by ecology. Based on undergraduate education, this major has great development space and advantages in strengthening postgraduate education and cultivating multi-level forestry ecological construction talents needed by society.

soil and water conservation and desertification combating

The development of history

The specialty of soil and water conservation and desertification control, formerly known as the Ministry of Forestry, was established in Guizhou Agricultural College, 1958. At the end of 1990s, colleges and universities were adjusted, and Guizhou Agricultural College merged with Guizhou University, belonging to the Agricultural College of Guizhou University. After the enrollment expansion of colleges and universities nationwide, the newly added applied major of soil and water conservation and desertification control 1998 was approved, and the undergraduate major of soil and water conservation and desertification control was established, which was subordinate to the Ministry of Forestry. 1999 enrolls the first freshmen, and it is the only major that trains professionals in soil and water conservation and desertification control in all colleges and universities in Guizhou.

2 professional development

Teachers of this major have formed distinctive research characteristics and strong strength in the long-term research process. Southwest karst area with Guizhou as the center has the largest area, the strongest karst development, the most landscape types, the most complex environment, the sharpest contradiction between man and land, serious vegetation degradation, strong soil erosion and serious soil erosion, which is a typical ecological fragile area. The biological measures of soil and water conservation engineering are systematically studied. During the "Sixth Five-Year Plan" and "Seventh Five-Year Plan", the projects of the Ministry of Science and Technology, such as "Classification and Evaluation of Water Conservation Forests in Wujiang River Basin", "Study on Layout Structure of Water Conservation Forests in Wujiang River Basin" and "Study on Rational Structure of Agriculture, Forestry and Animal Husbandry and Forest Species Layout", won the third prize of the Ministry of Forestry for scientific and technological progress. During the Eighth Five-Year Plan and the Ninth Five-Year Plan, he undertook the key projects of the Ministry of Science and Technology, namely "Research on Vegetation Restoration Technology in Guizhou Karst Mountainous Areas" and "Artificial Afforestation and Vegetation Restoration Technology in Difficult Sites in Guizhou Karst Mountainous Areas", and established several demonstration areas, winning two third prizes for scientific and technological progress in Guizhou Province.
