This paper selects 100 IT companies listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange from 2016 to 2020, and the public announcement in Hwajung collects ESG integrated ratings and grades for each sector and empirically verifies the relationship between ESG ratings and stock returns. Huazheng ESG level data and QIANZHAN database Using corporate financial data, a total of 500 samples were selected through correlation analysis and linear regression analysis with SPSS23 to analyze the effect of ESG on Return. As a result of the analysis, first, the impact on stock returns was found to be a significant positive (+) value for ESG integrated ratings and ratings by E (environment), S (social), and G (governance) sectors, confirming that ESG ratings have a positive mold of corporate stock returns. Currently, the world's major economies have proposed sustainable development strategies and "carbon neutral" goals. Development strategies are very consistent with ESG concepts, and companies that agree and execute ESG concepts may have higher ratings than other companies in the same industry, resulting in certain evaluation premiums. In addition, capital market performance in recent years shows that companies with ESG concepts or "carbon neutrality" concepts are generally considered to have higher growth potential and stronger anti-risk capabilities in the market. For listed companies, they should focus on ESG investment, improve ESG performance, and actively disclose related information to investors. Improving ESG performance should deliver positive information to society, enhance corporate image, increase market confidence in the future development of listed companies, and positively improve corporate value to actively increase financial, financial, trading, and other aspects of negotiation.

본 연구는 다년생 목본작물 바이오매스에 대한 해외 주요국가들의 산정 방법과 연구사례를 분석하였다. 주요국별 다년생 목본작물의 탄소축적 변화량 산정 방법을 살펴본 결과, 호주, 캐나다, 일본, 불가리아 등은 축적차이법을 적용하고 있는 것으로 확인되었으며, 독일, 오스트리아와 덴마크 등은 획득손실법을 기반으로 탄소축적 변화량을 산정하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 해외의 경우, 2단계 고도화연구를 통해 계수를 자체 개발하는 단계를 넘어 영상자료를 활용한 탄소축적 변화량 추정 연구를 진행하고 있는 반면, 국내의 경우 2단계 고도화연구를 시작하는 단계인 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 기반으로, 국내에서 향후 필요한 연구 네 가지를 제안하고자 한다: 1) 배출·흡수량 통계의 완전성 제고를 위한 과수별 바이오매스 상대생장식 및 탄소전환계수와 이를 활용하여 산출된 단위면적(ha)당 탄소축적량 같은 국가고유계수에 대한 자체 개발, 2) 과수별 바이오매스 기준 성목 및 벌채 주기에 대한 정의와 고도화된 연령별 재배면적 산정방법론에 대한 정책연구, 3) 2025년 발사 예정인 농림위성을 기반으로 상대생장식 및 원격탐사기법을 활용하여 농경지 부문 다년생 목본작물의 고도화된 산정기법을 개발하는 연구, 그리고 농경지 부문 다년생 목본작물 재배지 매트릭스 구축 및 모니터링 체계를 확립하는 연구, 마지막으로, 4) 동적탄소순환모형을 구현하기 위해, 현재 전체 농경지들을 하나로 취급하여 산정하고 있는 토양의 탄소축적 변화량을 하위 토지분류별로 구분하여 산정하는 연구들이 반드시 필요할 것이다. 본 연구는 비교대상 국가가 8개국으로 한정되어 전세계 국가의 다년생 목본작물에 대한 정의 및 탄소축적 변화량 연구에 대한 일반화에 한계점이 존재한다. 그러나, 주요국별 다년생 목본작물 탄소축적 변화량 산정방법 비교·분석을 통해, 국내 다년생 목본작물의 관련 연구를 위해 필요한 단계별 접근방식과 탄소축적 변화량 산정방법을 제안하였다. 이는 2050 농식품부 탄소중립 추진전략, 농업분야 탄소중립 실현을 위한 기반 구축 및 관련 연구 활성화에 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

Background: To assess the carbon sequestration capacity and net ecosystem productivity (NEP) of Quercus glauca forests, we analyzed the net primary productivity (NPP), carbon storage, and carbon emission of soil in a Q. glauca forest on Jeju Island (South Korea) from 2016 to 2018. Results: The average carbon stock in the above- and below-ground plant biomass was 223.7 Mg C ha^-1, while the average amount of organic carbon fixed by photosynthesis was 9.8 Mg C ha^-1 yr^-1, and the average NPP was 9.6 Mg C ha^-1 yr^-1. Stems and branches contributed to the majority of the above- and below-ground standing biomass and NPP. The average heterotrophic carbon emission from the soil was 8.7 Mg C ha^-1 yr^-1, while the average NEP was 1.1 Mg C ha^-1 yr^-1. Although the carbon stock, carbon absorption, and soil respiration values were higher than those reported in other oak forests in the world, the NEP was similar or lower. Conclusions: These results indicator that Q. glauca forests perform the role of a large carbon sink through the CO₂ absorption in the plants in terms of carbon balance. And it is judged to be helpful as data for assessment of carbon storage and flux in the forests and mitigation of elevated CO₂ in the atmosphere.

In this study, it was intended to compare the two methodologies for forest management project through extension of rotation age: Korean Forest Carbon Offset Standard (KFOS) and Verified Carbon Standard (VCS). The amount of carbon removals and offset credits based on the two methodologies and their trends were analyzed in this study. The major difference between two methodologies were found at the process of estimation of baseline carbon removals. For instance, average carbon stock during the project period was used for estimation of baseline carbon removals in KFOS, while average carbon stock change during the 100 years was used in VCS. Due to the different approach for estimation of baseline carbon removal, the estimated offset credits were also different according to the two methodologies. In this study, 15 project scenarios were considered for comparison of two methodologies : 5 major coniferous stands in Korea (Pinus densiflora in Gangwon region, Pinus densiflora in Central region, Pinus koraiensis, Larix leptolepis, Chamaecyparis obtusa) with 3 project periods (30, 35, 40 years). The results showed that estimated carbon offset credits based on the KFOS methodology were higher for all 15 scenarios compared to those based on the VCS methodology. The KFOS showed a steep decline in the annual offset credit as project period gets longer, thus it is not desirable for projects with longer period. VCS is more acceptable for longer projects with a small difference according to the project periods. The results also indicated that Pinus densiflora in Gangwon, Pinus koraiensis, and Larix leptolepis are more desirable species for forest management project through the extension of ration age.

산림의 바이오매스 탄소저장량을 추정하는 것은 산림의 공익적인 가치를 평가하기 위해 선행되어야 하는 연구이다. 하지만 기존의 바이오매스 탄소저장량 추정에 관한 연구는 대부분 결정론적 모델이 사용되어 오차에 의한 영향을 알 수 없다는 한계를 가진다. 본 연구에서는 단양군의 지상부 바이오매스 탄소저장량 추정의 경우를 대상으로 몬테카를로 시뮬레이션을 통해 위치 오차에 의한 추정오차의 영향을 분석하고자 하였다. 기본적인 추정 방법으로는 kNN 알고리즘이 사용되었으며, 표본점의 위치에 우연오차 및 계통오차를 추가하여 RMSE의 변화를 통해 추정오차에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 분석결과 일반적인 위성영상에서 발생 할 수 있는 0.5~1 영상소의 위치오차에 의해 추정의 평균 RMSE가 24.8 tonC/ha에서 26 tonC/ha로 증가하는 것으로 확인되었으며, 추정 오차의 범위는 23.8 tonC/ha에서 28.1 tonC/ha로 나타났다. 하지만， 대상지역의 특성에 의해 0.8 영상소 이상의 우연오차에 대해서는 더 이상의 RMSE 증가가 없이 수렴하는 것으로 확인되었다. 방향을 고려한 계통오차에 대한분석의 경우 실험자료에서 특정한 경향은 발견되지 않았다.

We studied natural and plantation forest ecosystem of Sarguja in Chhattisgarh, India in order to understand how vegetation biomass, carbon stock and its allocation patterns vary among the sites. For this, stratified random sampling was opted to measure the different layers of vegetation. Wide floral diversity was found in the natural forest site as compared to the teak stand. Overall, 17 tree species found in natural forest comprising 8 families while in the teak stand 6 species were recorded. In understory strata 23 species were recorded (18 herbs and 5 shrubs) in natural forest whereas in teak stand 20 herb species and 3 shrubs were found. Great variation was also seen in the population dynamics of the different vegetation stratum in concerned sites. The sapling, seedling and herb density was found to be highest in natural stand while tree and shrub density was more in teak stand. Results indicated that stand biomass of the natural site was $321.19t\;ha^{-1}$ while in the teak stand it was $276.61t\;ha^{-1}$. The total biomass of tree layer in plantation site was $245.22t\;ha^{-1}$ and natural forest $241.44t\;ha^{-1}$. The sapling, seedling, shrub and forest floor biomass was found highest under natural forest as compared to the teak plantation site. Carbon stock has similar trend as that of biomass accumulation in natural forest and teak stand. Higher biomass accumulation and carbon stock were recorded in the higher girth class gradation of the population structure. Proper efforts are required to manage these diverse ecosystems to obtain higher biomass and sustainable ecological services.

This study was conducted to estimate carbon stocks of Quercus serrata with drawing volume of trees in each tree height and DBH applying the suitable stem taper equation and tree specific carbon emission factors, using collected growth data from all over the country. Information on distribution area, tree number per hectare, tree volume and volume stocks were obtained from the $5^{th}$ National Forest Inventory (2006~2010), and method provided in IPCC GPG was applied to estimate carbon storage and removals. Performance in predicting stem diameter at a specific point along a stem in Quercus serrata by applying Kozak's model,$d=a_1DBH^{a_2}a_3^{DBH}X^{b_1Z^2+b_2ln(Z+0.001)+b_3{\sqrt{Z}}+b_4e^Z+b_5({\frac{DBH}{H}})}$, which is well known equation in stem taper estimation, was evaluated with validations statistics, Fitness Index, Bias and Standard Error of Bias. Consequently, Kozak's model turned out to be suitable in all validations statistics. Stem volume tables of Quercus serrata were derived by applying Kozak's model and carbon stock tables in each tree height and DBH were developed with country-specific carbon emission factors ($WD=0.65t/m^3$, BEF=1.55, R=0.43) of Quercus serrata. As a result of carbon stock analysis by age class in Quercus serrata, carbon stocks of IV age class (11,358 ha, 36.5%) and V age class (10,432; 33.5%) which take up the largest area in distribution of age class were 957,000 tC and 1,312,000 tC. Total carbon stocks of Quercus serrata were 3,191,000 tC which is 3% compared with total percentage of broad-leaved forest and carbon sequestration per hectare(ha) was 3.8 tC/ha/yr, $13.9tCO_2/ha/yr$, respectively.

Background: Tropical montane forests played an important role in the provision of ecosystem services. The intense degradation and deforestation for the need of agricultural land expansion result in a significant decline of forest cover. However, the expansion of agricultural land did not completely destruct natural forests. There remain forests inaccessible for agricultural and grazing purpose. Studies on these forests remained scant, motivating to investigate biomass and soil carbon stocks. Data of biomass and soils were collected in 80 quadrats ($400m^2$) systematically in 5 forests. Biomass and disturbance gradients were determined using allometric equation and disturbance index, respectively. The regression modeling is employed to explore the spatial distribution of carbon stock along disturbance and environmental gradients. Correlation analysis is also employed to identify the relation between site factors and carbon stocks. Results: The result revealed that a total of 1655 individuals with a diameter of ${\geq}5cm$, representing 38 species, were measured in 5 forests. The mean aboveground biomass carbon stocks (AGB CS) and soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks at 5 forests were $191.6{\pm}19.7$ and $149.32{\pm}6.8Mg\;C\;ha^{-1}$, respectively. The AGB CS exhibited significant (P < 0.05) positive correlation with SOC and total nitrogen (TN) stocks, reflecting that biomass seems to be a general predictor of SOCs. AGB CS between highly and least-disturbed forests was significantly different (P < 0.05). This disturbance level equates to a decrease in AGB CS of 36.8% in the highly disturbed compared with the least-disturbed forest. In all forests, dominant species sequestrated more than 58% of carbon. The AGB CS in response to elevation and disturbance index and SOC stocks in response to soil pH attained unimodal pattern. The stand structures, such as canopy cover and basal area, had significant positive relation with AGB CS. Conclusions: Study results confirmed that carbon stocks of studied forests were comparable to carbon stocks of protected forests. The biotic, edaphic, topographic, and disturbance factors played a significant variation in carbon stocks of forests. Further study should be conducted to quantify carbon stocks of herbaceous, litter, and soil microbes to account the role of the whole forest ecosystem.
