This study is the application of a choice experiment to assess Mekong Delta urban households' preferences and motivations for ecosystem conservation in the U Minh forest. The study applied a choice modeling approach to estimate the economic values of the proposed ecosystem conservation program in the U Minh forest by accessing urban consumer preferences and their willingness to pay for the project. Discrete choice experimental data was collected from 450 residents in the cities of the Vietnamese Mekong Delta. The multinomial logit model was employed to identify consumer's stated preferences for the environmental and sustainability attributes of the conservation project. The results showed that Mekong Delta urban residents paid much attention to the proposed project to protect and develop the U Minh forest. In addition, the results showed that higher education, income, and knowledge of the U Minh forest revealed a higher likelihood of selecting the project, while the older residents would select the status quo more than the younger ones. The study also proved that the effect of participation had a strong impact on the willingness to pay for the project. The findings could be useful for policymakers to take action to raise resident's awareness and willingness to pay for the U Minh forest project.

In the present exploration we identified perception of forest dependent communities in relation to impact of climate change on forest ecosystem in and around Chilapatta reserve forest in northern part of West Bengal, India. Purposive sampling method was used for selection of area and random sampling method was used for selection of respondent. The data collection in this study was through questionnaire based personal in-depth interviews. Almost all the respondents (94%) were farmers and rest had occupation other than farming. Almost all the respondents perceived negative impact of climate change on forest though the level of perception varies from very low to medium (0.23-0.52) based on average perception score after assigning score to individual statements. The level of perception on impact of climate change on forest ecology and forest flora of the community is low and very low as the average perception score is 0.39 and 0.23, respectively while, it is medium (0.52) for forest fauna. Alternately their perception on decreased stream/river flow and quick drying of seasonal streams or water bodies is based on their livelihood experience as they depend on these for their domestic and irrigation water use and fish catch for family diet.

Decomposition of plant material is an important component in the study of forest ecosystem because of its critical role in nutrient cycling. Different tree species has different nutrient release patterns, which are related to leaf litter quantitative traits and seasonal environmental factors. The quantitative traits of leaf litter are important predictors of decomposition and decomposition rates increase with greater nutrient availability in the forest ecosystems. At the ecosystem level, litter quantitative traits are most often related to the physical and chemical characteristics of the litter, for example, leaf toughness and leaf mass per unit area, and lignin content tannin and total phenolics. Thus, the analysis of litter quantitative traits and decomposition are highly important for the understanding of nutrient cycling in forest ecosystems. By studying the role of litter quantitative traits on decomposition and nutrient cycling in forest ecosystems will provide a valuable insight to how quantitative traits influence ecosystem nutrient dynamics. Such knowledge will contribute to future forest management and conservation practices.

본 연구는 산림의 기능구분에서 시간에 따라 변화가 있는지 여부를 알아보고자 하였다. 또한 생태계서비스 개념이 현재 국유림 관리계획에서 고려되는 수준을 파악하고자 하였다. 자료는 98개 국유림의 경영계획구의 현재와 직전 기간의 경영계획서를 활용하였다, 경영계획서상 전, 현차기의 경영계획구별 산림기능별 면적의 구성 비율을 분석대상으로 삼았다. 전차기, 현차기의 2개 그룹의 평균이 정규분포를 따르는지 우선 검정하였다. 그 결과, 정규분포를 따르면 모수적 t-검정, 그렇지 않은 경우 비모수적 Wilcoxon 부호순위 검정을 실시하였다. 정규분포를 따르는 것은 목재생산림 경우가 해당되고, 나머지 5가지 기능: 수원함양림, 산지재해방지림, 자연환경보전림, 산림휴양림, 생활환경보전림은 정규분포하지 않는다. t-검정 또는 Wilcoxon 부호순위 검정을 실시한 결과, 유의미한 기능별 산림면적 비율의 변화를 보인 것은 목재생산림, 자연환경보전림이었다. '생태계서비스' 개념이 활발하게 언급되기 시작한 것은 2018년에 시작된 제6차 산림기본계획에서 부터이다. 지방산림청별 지역산림계획에서는 차이가 있었는데, 동부와 서부지방산림청 소관 지역산림계획에서는 위 개념에 대한 언급이 빈번하게 이루어졌으나 나머지 3개 지방산림청의 계획들에서는 그렇지 않았다.

최근 기후변화가 심각해지고 이상기상 현상이 빈번해짐에 따라 산불, 산사태 이외에도 우박, 매미나방과 같은 흔치 않은 형태의 산림생태계교란이 발생하고 있다. 이 논문에서는 RapidEye와 Sentinel-2 영상에 ISODATA(Iterative Self-organizing Data Analysis Technique Algorithm)를 적용하여, 2017년 화순의 우박 피해지와 2020년 치악산의 매미나방 피해지를 분석하였다. 우박 피해지의 경우, 본연구의 6월 영상분석과 선행연구의 7월 현장조사를 종합해볼 때, 우박에 의해 수목에 외상이 생긴 후에 가뭄이 겹치면서 6월에서 7월로 갈수록 피해의 심각성이 보다 더 증가한 것으로 분석되었다. 2020년 치악산의 매미나방 피해지에서는 6월 영상에서 상당한 나뭇잎 피해가 발견되었으며, 원주시에 인접한 낮은 고도의 사면에서 주로 피해가 발생한 것으로 나타났다. 기후변화에 의해 유발된 다양하고 특이한 산림생태계교란을 탐지함에 있어 위성원격탐사는 매우 효과적인 방법임에 틀림없으며, 우리나라에서 2024년 발사 예정인 농림업중형위성은 이와 같은 산림생태계교란을 감시하는 데 적극적으로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

To select the criteria, literature review was made in the quantitative case of conservation biology, foreign country's EIA and domestic ecology. Among them, a few factors was extracted. To applicate the criteria to domestic forest ecosystem, expert opinion survey was executed to the ecologist. The results were summarized as follows; 1. Classification of sites was made of land use system which is related to forest ecosystem or forest conservation. Sites are divided into 3 categories which are nature preservation area, seminature preservation area and urbanized area. Evaluation criteria is consisted of rarity and naturalness. 2. Each area had different criteria composition according to the site characteristics. Criteria of nature preservation area is rarity in the broad sense (distribution pattern of vegetation), vegetation size, successional stage and depth of organic matters. Those of seminature preservation area are rarity in the broad sense (distribution area of vegetation), vegetation size, successional stage, diameter at breath height and depth of organic matters. And those of urbanized area are vegetation distribution in area, successional stage, age of forest and diameter of breath height. The basic data of criterion was gathered by field survey. 3. Evaluation index and total naturalness index was obtained by adding the each criterion. It is made up of two categories-rarity and naturalness. TNi is divided into 3 grades. Grade I is more than 70% for TNi, grade IT is 50~70%, and grade III is below 50%. According to the each grade, permitted action and facilities were suggested.. This research just focuses on the evaluation of vegetation quality and the assessment results do not directly judge conservation or development. To make better evaluation criteria, various fields of forest ecosystem-geological or physical nature environment and fauna ecosystem etc. -will be added wholly to this research.

Short rotation woody crops belonging to the genera Populus L., Salix L., Pinus L., and Eucalyptus L'Her. have provided broad economic and ecological benefits throughout the world, including afforestation and reforestation along urban to rural gradients. Within the genus Populus, cottonwoods, poplars, aspens, and their hybrids (hereafter referred to as poplars) have been shown to exhibit favorable genotype ${\times}$ environment interactions, especially in the face of changing climates. Similar growth responses have been reported for Pinus, especially with white pine (Pinus strobus L.) in the North Central United States. This has led to current research priorities focused on ecosystem services for both genera. The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (2005) defines cultural, supporting, provisioning, and regulating ecosystem services. The overarching objective of this paper was to synthesize information about the potential of poplars to provide multiple ecosystem services when grown at sites with varying soil and climate conditions across landscape gradients from urban to rural areas. Specific objectives included: 1) providing background of the United States Forest Service and its Research and Development branch, 2) integrating knowledge of current poplar breeding and development with biomass provisioning and carbon regulating ecosystem services as they relate to changing climates in the North Central United States, and 3) providing a case study illustrating this integration through comparisons of poplar with white pine. Our results were evaluated in the context of climate change mitigation, with specific focus on selection of favorable genotypes for sequestering atmospheric carbon and reducing fossil fuel carbon emissions.
