This study was carried out in the teaching and research forest of the University of Dschang in Belabo, with the aim of analysing land-cover and land-use changes as well as carbon stocks dynamic. The databases used are composed of three Landsat satellite images (5TM of 1984, 7ETM + of 2000 and 8OLI of 2016), enhanced by field missions. Satellite images were processed using ENVI and ArcGIS software. Interview, focus group discussion methods and participatory mapping were used to identify the activities carried out by the local population. An inventory design consisting of four transects was used to measure dendrometric parameters and to identify land-use types. An estimation of carbon stocks in aboveground and underground woody biomass was made using allometric models based on non-destructive method. Dynamic of land-cover showed that the average annual rate of deforestation is 0.48%. The main activities at the base of this change are agriculture, house built-up and logging. Seven types of land-use were identified; adult secondary forests (64.10%), young secondary forests (7.54%), wetlands (7.39%), fallows (3.63%), savannahs (9.59%), cocoa farms (4.28%) and mixed crop farms (3.47%). Adult secondary forests had the highest amount of carbon ($250.75\;t\;C\;ha^{-1}$). This value has decreased by more than 60% for mixed crop farms ($94.67\;t\;C\;ha^{-1}$), showing the impact of agricultural activities on both forest cover and carbon stocks. Agroforestry systems that allow conservation and introduction of woody species should be encouraged as part of a participatory management strategy of this forest.

2018년 유엔 개발 계획(United Nations Development Programme; UNDP)의 보고서에 따르면 북한의 산림 황폐화는 매우 극단적이며, 지금까지도 진행되고 있다. 기후변화 측면에서 산림 황폐화는 단순히 한 국가만의 문제가 아닌 전 지구적인 스케일의 문제로 여겨지며, 이러한 북한 산림 황폐화의 원인은 만성적인 식량난과 개간 산지의 확대, 산림 병해충의 영향으로 알려져 있다. 산림 황폐화에 대응하기 위한 연구와 정책 사업들은 원격탐사와 산림 관련 국가 공간자료들을 이용하여 진행되지만, 북한의 경우 국가 공공 자료들의 접근이 제한적이며, 객관성이 보장되기 어렵다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 Landsat 위성영상을 사용하여 통계적 확률밀도 추정 방법을 통해 한반도에서 유일하게 행정구역상으로 분단된 강원도에 대한 산림면적을 탐지 및 평가하고자 하였다. 남한의 산림 공간자료와 정규화식생지수(Normalized Difference Vegetation Index; NDVI)를 이용하여, 산림 비산림의 NDVI 값에 대한 범주별 가우시안 확률밀도함수를 추정하고 산림 탐지를 위한 NDVI 임계점(0.6658)을 설정하였다. 설정된 임계점을 이용하여 남 북 강원도에 대한 다중시기 산림면적 탐지를 진행한 결과 남 북 모두 2000년대까지 산림 면적이 감소하였으나, 2010년대에는 면적이 증가하는 경향이 나타났다. 또한, 지역적 규모에서 산림 면적의 감소는 국가별 도시화, 산업화의 정책 방향과 일치함을 확인하였다. 검증을 위한 Kappa value의 경우 대부분 강적합(0.8)과 중적합(0.6) 수준을 나타내었으며, 탐지된 면적과 국가 통계와의 비교 결과도 약소한 차이를 나타내었다. 본 연구는 북한 산림 황폐화에 대응하는 기반 자료로 사용될 수 있으며, 탐지된 결과를 바탕으로 산림자원의 보호와 복구의 필요성이 제기된다.

In order not to hinder the trend of promoting participatory forest management under the REDD-plus mechanism, we propose a simple method to support local stakeholders evaluating and selecting promising national programs as REDD-plus activities prior to the launch of activities. Program evaluation is done from the viewpoint of expectations for achieving (1) 'triple-benefit' consisting of emission reduction from mitigating deforestation and forest degradation, biodiversity conservation, and poverty alleviation, and (2) 'feasibility' when the programs would be practiced on the ground. The method is applicable for other countries.

Five non-stratified plant communities, Dichanthium-Artemisia-Themeda, Dichanthium- Plectranthes-Themeda, Plectranthes-Carex-Myrine, Heteropogon- Dichanthium-Dodonaea and Artemisia-Cynodon-Ber-beris were recognized in Girbanr hills, District Swat, during autumn, 1992. The indices of similarity showed that the communities were dissimilar. The percentage of leptophyllous and nanophyllous, terophytic and nanophanerophytic species were higher than other groups. These indicate dry and disturben conditions. Due to autumn season most of the species were entering in dormant stage. There was no tree layer on southern slopes while northern slopes had a poor layer of Pinus roxburghii. Deforestation, uprooting, terrace cultivation and overgrazing followed by erosion are the main ecological problems. The presence of isolated trees of Pinus roxburghii and stunted Olea ferruginea indicate that the original vegetation might have been of chirpine or Olea-Pinus type. The area having resource potential can be changed into a forest or rangeland by proper protection and management. Suggestions in favour of improvement are given.

Fungal endophytes are defined as fungi inhabiting plant tissues, causing no apparent disease. As the agricultural and ecological importance of endophytes has increased, many studies have been performed on various aspects, ranging from basic identification, taxonomy, and evolution to secondary metabolites with potential for human use. In the Korean Peninsula, conifers are the most commonly found evergreen trees, with approximately 30 to 60 reported taxa. Studies on the effect of conifer-associated endophytes on the host plants are required for the preservation and conservation of coniferous forests which decline by climate change and deforestation. This review summarizes the diversity of endophytic fungi in coniferous trees of Korea and their relationship with host plants.

This paper investigated policies that drive the sustainable management of Ivorian forest which disappear at an annual rate of 250000 hectares. Based on an inter-temporal model for optimum allocation of forest land to three competing uses, the article found that sustainability depends on the incentive structure, of which forest taxes and fees are a key, though obviously not the sole, component. The study proposed to increase the area fee level by accounting for environmental externalities generated by forest harvesters and farmers. The paper showed that the area fee is a decreasing function of the forest natural rate of regeneration and the reconversion rate of agricultural surfaces. Finally, at the given forest natural rate of regeneration and the reconversion rate of agricultural surfaces, the model argued that the area fee need to be progressive (arithmetic progression) in the context of ecological equilibrium break while it should remain constant in normal situation.

Most of dredged soil generating millions of tons per year is treated as a waste disposing in ocean or landfill except some part of recycling. The purpose of this study is to present the prerequisite for the use of dredged soil as a resource and analyse economic and environmental values of the recycling of dredged soil. The analysis of the economic and environmental value of recycling of dredged soil as a resource showed that several trillion won of budget can be saved in construction of disposal area or landfill and that loss of about 50 million tons of aggregates from deforestation can be restored by supplyment of dredged soil preserving a mountain as big as the Namsan(Mt.) every year. In order to utilize dredged soil in more diverse areas as high value of resource, the related domestic laws are needed to be readjusted integrating laws spreaded in different government departments and a special law is prepared and enacted.
