中文摘要 台灣的礦山大多位於山區和國有林地。礦山的開發和利用嚴重破壞環境。採礦作業過程中損失的森林生態服務價值尚未納入開礦公司承擔的費用,本研究評估採礦之環境損失,旨在為未來計算與態損害提供參考。本研究分析宜蘭(台灣東北部)的太白山礦場和花蓮(台灣東部)的勇士山礦場,這些地區都是森林茂密的地區。透過使用四種生態服務森林生產、碳匯、水資源補充和森林遊憩,估算兩個礦區生態價值的損失。結果表明,太白山礦區生產效益損失總額為7,498.6千新台幣,勇士山礦區生產效益損失總額為新台幣6,543.1千新台幣,太白山礦區20年水源涵養損失新台幣1,116萬元,勇士山礦區為507萬元。兩礦區之森林遊憩損失為新台幣1,443,855千元。
英文摘要 Mines are mostly located in the mountains and national forestlands in Taiwan. The development and use of mines have severely damaged the environment. Despite the long history of mining, the value of forest ecological services lost during mining operations have not yet been incorporated into the expenses borne by miners, and miners are not liable for compensation for ecological damage. This study evaluated the forest ecosystem service benefits lost since mining began, with the aim of providing future reference for calculating ecological damage related to mining. We investigated Mount Taibai mines in Yilan (northeast Taiwan) and Mount Yongshi mines in Hualian (east Taiwan), which are richly forested areas. According to Article 13 of the Mining Act in Taiwan, mining rights have a limitation of 20 years, and the two mines in this study have been in operation for 20 years. By using four ecological services—forest production, carbon sequestration, water resource replenishment, and forest recreation—we estimated the loss of ecological values in both mining regions. The result indicated that the loss of total forest production benefits over 20 years was 7,498.6 k New Taiwanese dollars (NTD) in Mount Taibai mines and 6,543.1 k NTD for Mount Yongshi mines, while the loss for the total carbon sequestration benefits over 20 years was 19,950 k NTD in Mount Taibai mines and 17,400 k NTD in Mount Yongshi mines. The loss of value for the total water conservation benefits over 20 years was 11,160 k NTD in Mount Taibai mines and 5,070 k NTD in Mount Yongshi mines. The loss value of forest recreation over 20 years was 1,443,855 k NTD for the two mines.
