The increasing price of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) has forced many households to shift to firewood/charcoal in the Philippines, causing tremendous pressure on the dwindling forest. This transition is more obvious in the rural area where firewood price is almost half of that in the cities. Both problems on big demand for firewood and the pressure on our forest can be partly solved by going into firewood plantation. After all, the country has vast track of idle lands, both private and government lands, waiting to be developed. What the government can do are: a) aggressive promotion of firewood plantation, b) simplify further the old technology on establishing firewood plantation to encourage more farmers, c) improve charcoal processing and d) promote the use of efficient stoves. This write up discusses the need for firewood plantation, areas available for planting, where to plant in farms, what species to plant in a particular soil type/location for optimum growth, planting methods, harvesting, marketing, and the side lights on the ecological benefits derived from plantation aside from wood.

북한 산림황폐화를 방지하기 위한 남북한 협력 수단으로 REDD 메커니즘의 적용 가능성을 사전 검토하였다. 북한은 기후변화협약이 국가 단위의 REDD+ 메커니즘의 이행 조건으로 요구한 REDD+ 국가 전략 수립과 산림모니터링 시스템 등을 구비하지 못하였다. 또한 북한은 REDD 메커니즘을 적용하기 위한 토대인 산림자원 통계의 신뢰성 역시 부족하였다. 인공위성 영상자료를 활용하여 추정한 산림면적 자료를 제외한 대부분의 산림자원 통계는 신뢰할만한 산림조사 결과를 바탕으로 하지 않고 단순한 가정을 기초로 추정된 것이다. 이러한 검토 결과는 북한이 산림황폐지 복구 수단으로 REDD 메커니즘을 당장 적용할 수 없다는 것을 보여준다. 이를 바탕으로 향후 REDD 메커니즘을 북한에 적용하기 위한 연구 주제와 남북한 산림부문의 협력 의제를 제안하였다. (1) 최소한 2000년 이후 북한지역의 토지이용변화 탐지, 탄소축적변화 추정 및 산림전용 산림황폐화의 원인 구명 연구가 필요하다. (2) 남북한의 REDD+ 협력은 북한의 'REDD+ 국가 전략 수립' 및 '국가산림조사 체계 구축' 부문에 초점을 맞추어야 한다.

본 연구에서는 반복적인 온도변화가 목분(50 wt.%와 70 wt.%)이 첨가된 폴리프로필렌 WPC(Wood Plastic Composites)의 기계적 특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. WPC의 휨탄성계수(flexural modulus)와 휨강도 (flexural strength)는 반복 회수에 상관없이 동결 융해 시험에서 계면접착력의 약화 때문에 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 목분의 함량이 높을 때, 휨탄성계수의 감소가 비교적 높았다. WPC의 휨탄성계수와 휨강도는 고온($60^{\circ}C$) 저온 ($-20^{\circ}C$) 반복시험 후 고온에서 감소하고 저온에서 증가되었다. 폴리프로필렌(polypropylene, PP)의 유리전이점 (glass transition temperature: $-10^{\circ}C$) 보다 낮은 저온($-20^{\circ}C$에서 WPC는 높은 강성(stiffness)과 강도 (strength)를 유발시키는 유리상태(glassy state)로 존재한다. 고온에서 목분의 함량이 낮은 WPC가 연성의 증가 때문에 낮은 휨탄성계수와 휨강도를 보였다.

The purpose of this research is to analyze of biotope structure focused on the evaluation for the species and biotope preservation in the case of Soosung District in Daegu metropolitan city. We analyzed the structure of urban biotope, and investigated the disposition of space and several characteristics through the material collection relating to the existing urban ecological material and the field investigation. The results of this study were as follows; 1) The result of biotope type classification was divided into 17 biotope type groups and 90 biotope types belonging to them. 2) The biotope type of mixed forest(QD) has the highest rate in occupation area, 1.764ha and the biotope type of cultivation areas by vinyle-hothouse(KC) has the lowest rate, 0.3ha. 3) In the result of the first evaluation for the species and biotope preservation, biotope types such as QB, QI, PA, PB, NB and NC etc. possess great value. Particulary, these biotope types come from forest areas and transition zone. They have not appeared in the inner of cities. 4) The biotope types such as CA, NA, NB, ND and PB are proved to possess high value in the result of rarity and riskiness evaluation. There appear EE, MA, NB, QC and QD in IV grade which is impossible to have them regenerative. They usually have appeared in forest areas. 5) There emerge 3a biotope type that has the highest value in the result of the second evaluation such as CC, EE, KF, LD, MB, NC, PB, QB and QI etc. Most of them were presented into the large area of site size and were distributed in the forest areas intensively. So, it is certain that the space for the species and biotope preservation connected with residential district is scarce. 6) The detailed biotope plan must be made out specially continuously. It is about biotope spaces that are especially important for the species and biotope preservation from the result of this research. Also, the study on the detailed index settlement of the urban landscape plan based on the biotope map must be continued.

This study investigates the thermal properties of nanocomposites prepared from poly(lactic acid) (PLA), wood flour (WF) and montmorillonite (MMT) by melt compounding with a twin screw extruder. In order to enhance the mechanical properties of PLA/WF composites, maleic anhydride grafted PLA (MAPLA) is synthesized as a compatibilizer. MAPLA prepared in the laboratory is characterized using FR-IR. From SEM microphotographs, the presence of MAPLA has a positive effect on the mechanical properties of WF-reinforced PLA composites. The addition of WF/MAPLA into neat PLA increased the glass transition temperature ($T_g$). The addition of 1 to 5 wt% MMT into PLA/WF/MAPLA composite decreases the $T_g$. The cold crystallization temperature ($T_{cc}$) was decreased by the addition of MMT. The MMT could act as effective nucleating sites of PLA crystallization. The thermal stability evaluated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) is improved with the contents of MMT up to 3 wt%.

This study was conducted to understand and to compare the qualitative aspects of anatomical characteristics in compression wood (CW), lateral wood (LW), and opposite wood (OW) in a stem of Ginkgo biloba. The qualitative analysis was examined by optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. CW in Ginkgo biloba disks were dark brown in color, and the OW and LW were light brown in color. CW and OW showed abrupt transitions from earlywood to latewood, while LW showed a gradual transition. Cross sections of CW presented circular tracheids with angular outlines, many intercellular spaces, and varying sizes of lumens. Cross sections of LW and OW showed rectangular tracheids, fewer intercellular spaces, and varying sizes of lumens. In radial sections, CW showed an irregular arrangement of tracheids in earlywood, while LW and OW showed comparatively regular arrangements. Slit-like bordered pits on the tracheid cell wall, piceoid pits in the crossfield, and a few spiral checks were present in CW. LW and OW showed bordered pits with slightly oval-shaped apertures, as well as cuppresoid pits in the crossfields. Rays were primarily uniseriate, with few biseriate rays in the tangential sections of CW, LW, and OW. The tips of the tracheids were branched in CW but had a normal appearance in LW and OW.

Hydrogen peroxide has been a bleaching chemical for varied pulp, especially mechanical and deinking pulp. It is catalytically decomposed by some transition metals in pulp slurry. In this paper, some metals which can be contained in pulp such as manganese, copper, iron, magnesium and calcium were used to investigate their effect on the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. From the result, hydrogen peroxide was more decomposed in the order of Mn, Cu, $Fe^{3+}\;and\;Fe^{2+}$, while Mg and Ca had little effect on the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. The effect of Mg/Mn ratio on the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide was also investigated. At the specific ratio of them(Mg/Mn=10), hindering effect of peroxide decomposition by Mg was decreased.

본 연구는 라오스에 소재한 전형적인 농 산촌 마을을 선정하여, 마을 단위를 대상으로 생산구조를 전환할 경우의 소득증대에 대한 경제적 타당성을 분석하였다. 대상지는 라오스 쌍퉁구에 위치한 농부아 마을로써 산림지역이 혼재된 논농사 위주의 마을이다. 이 마을이 취할 수 있는 소득 제고 전략은 단기적으로 손쉽게 소득을 제고할 수 있는 작목으로 노니(Morinda citrifolia)가 꼽힌다. 사업 기간은 20년으로 가정하고, 1ha 면적에 $3m{\times}3m$ 간격으로 식재한 총 1,100본을 대상으로, 묘목 생존율과 노니 수매가격에 따라 시나리오 1, 2, 3을 구분하였다. 일반적으로 노니는 생장이 좋은 편이나, 본 연구에서는 생산 경험 부족, 병충해 등의 리스크를 감안하여 기본 시나리오 1을 묘목 생존율(=열매 생산량)을 기존 자료(하와이)보다 보수적으로 설정하였다. 시나리오 1은 노니 묘목의 생존율이 1년생이 50%, 2년생이 60%, 3년생부터 20년생까지 70%로 유지된다고 가정하였다. 시나리오 2는 묘목 생존율이 10%씩 감소되어 40%, 50%, 60%로 제약을 두었고, 시나리오 3은 묘목생존율이 10% 감소되고, 노니 수매가격 또한 10% 감소된 경우로 가정하였다. 이러한 조건하에 라오스 시장 할인율 10%를 기준으로, 3개 시나리오 모두 IRR이 각각 24.81%, 19.02%, 16.30%로 모두 경제성이 있음이 확인되었다. 또한 ha당 B/C도 각각 시나리오 1, 2, 3에 대해서 할인율 10%를 기준으로 모두 1.71, 1.47, 1.31로 분석되었다. 분석결과는 향후 농부아 마을은 대체 작목(노니)를 통한 저소득 영농구조를 탈피할 수 있는 좋은 계기가 될 것을 시사하며, 각종 정부 및 민간 투자사업을 계획할 때 수행하는 사전진단 절차 단계에서 유용한 의사결정 정보로써 활용이 가능하다.

Jeju island has a humid subtropical climate and this climate zone is expected to migrate northward toward the main land, Korea Peninsula, as temperature increases are accelerated. Vegetation type has been inevitably shifted along with the climatic change, having more subtropical species native in southeast Asia or even in Africa. With the forest composition shift, it becomes more important than ever to analyze the water balance of the forest wihth the ongoing as well as upcoming climate change. Here, we implemented the Ecosystem Demography Biosphere Model (ED2) by initializing the key variables using forest inventory data (diameter at breast height in 2012). Out of 10,000 parameter sets randomly generated from prior distribution distributions of each parameter (i.e., Monte-Carlo Method), we selected four behavioral parameter sets using remote-sensing data (LAI-MOD15A2H, GPP-MOD17A2H, and ET-MOD16A2, 8-days at 500-m during 2001-2005), and evaluated the performances using eddy-covariance carbon flux data (2012 Mar.-Sep. 30-min) and remote sensing data between 2006-2020. We simulated each of the four RCP scenarios (2.6, 4.5, 6.0, and 8.5) from four climate forcings (GFDL-ESM2M, HadGEM2-ES, IPSL-CM5A-LR, and MIROC5 from ISIMIP2b). Based on those 64 simulation sets, we estimate the changes in water balance resulting from the forest composition shift, and also uncertainty in the estimates and the sensitivity of the estimates to the parameters, climate forcings, and RCP scenarios.
