这篇评论描绘了林业研究中性别研究的最新发展，重点是发展中国家的热带和干旱森林。我们回顾了从Web of Knowledge数据库中提取的121篇出版物和国际林业研究中心过去10年的出版物。在过去十年（2000-2011年），以性别为重点的林业研究主要是评估男子和妇女参与社区林业倡议以及森林产品商业化和市场准入的研究。社区林业研究主要在南亚进行，市场准入研究在非洲进行。研究的地理分布不均衡，大多数研究在印度和尼泊尔。我们认为，所观察到的模式与最近的森林管理，这在南亚有一个较长的传统下放改革。这种模式还与1990年代广泛突出的减贫工作重点有关。将性别问题纳入林业研究受到以下因素的制约：人们普遍认为林业是一个男性占主导地位的职业，研究人员对性别问题的概念不明确，以及缺乏技术技能、对性别问题的兴趣和/或认识。确定了主要的知识差距。
This review charts out recent developments in gender research in forestry research, with a focus on tropical and dry forests in developing countries. We reviewed 121 publications extracted from the Web of Knowledge database and publications by the Center for International Forestry Research for the past 10 years. Over the past decade (2000-2011) gender-focused forestry research has been dominated by studies that evaluate men's and women's participation in community forestry initiatives and the commercialisation of forest products and market access. Community forestry studies were mainly conducted in South Asia and market access studies in Africa. The geographical spread of studies is uneven, with most studies in India and Nepal. We suggest that the observed patterns relate to recent devolution reforms of forest management, which have a longer tradition in South Asia. The patterns also relate to the focus on poverty reduction efforts that gained widespread prominence in the 1990s. Integrating gender into forestry research is constrained by the broad perception that forestry is a male-dominated profession, a lack of clarity among researchers of the concept of gender, and a lack of technical skills, interest and/or awareness of gender. Key knowledge gaps are identified.
