Synopsis (short abstract) Enzymatic CO2 reduction has been reported as a promising approach to greenhouse gas fixation. There are few biocatalysts capable of biological CO2 fixation, e.g. pyruvate decarboxylase, carbonic anhydrase, and formate dehydrogenase. Formate dehydrogenase(FDH) can reduce CO2 to formate without organic chemicals, and formate can be sequentially reduced to formaldehyde and methanol by coupling aldehyde dehydrogenase and alcohol dehydrogenase reactions. Therefore, FDH has been widely adopted inCO2 reducing reaction.
In this study, we researched CO2-reducing activities of FDH derived from wood rot fungi, Trametes versicolor. Microbial species, T. versicolor, were separated in National institute of Forest Science. The fungi were grown in a potato dextrose agar medium. For the transformation, the host, Shizosaccaromyces pombe of wild type, was obtained from Bioneer(Korea). Total RNA was extracted with Hybrid-R (GeneAll) from T. versicolor mycelium. cDNAs were synthezied by AccuPower (Bioneer) as recommended by the manufacturer. For sub-cloning, PCR of fragments (1.2 kb) were amplified with pairs of TvFDH ORF primers(Foword: 5’-ATGCTCGCCGGCATCT-3’, Reverse: 5’-TCACTTGCGCTGGCCA-3’). The amplified fragments were sub-cloned into a pCR2.1-TOPO (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) vector and the plasmid DNA was sequenced. The amplified fragments were digested by Not 1 and Bam 1 and then inserted into a pSLF272 vector (Bioneer, Korea). The recombinant plasmid was amplified in the Escherichia coli DH5α, and then extracted by mini prep kit. The recombinant plasmids were chemically (lithium acetate method) transformed into yeast S. pombe. Ligation products, transformants, were named as pSLF272-TvFDH. Selection of transformants were performed in the minimal medium, EMM. Expression and purification of the TvFDHs is being performed to obtain pure enzymes.

    This study calculated the productivity and cost of extraction and processing of logging residues by cut-to-length (CTL) and whole-tree (WT) harvesting methods. In addition, the comparative analysis of the characteristics of wood chip fuel to examine whether it was suitable for the fuel conditions of the energy facility. In the harvesting and processing system to produce the wood chips of logging residues the system productivity and cost of the CTL harvesting system were 1.6 Gwt/SMH and 89,865 won/Gwt, respectively. The productivity and cost of the WT harvesting system were 2.9 Gwt/SMH and 72,974 won/Gwt, respectively. The WT harvesting productivity increased 1.3times while harvesting cost decreased by 18.7% compared to the CTL harvesting system. The logging residues of wood chips were not suitable for CTL wood chips based on International Organization for Standardization (ISO 17225-4:2021) and South Korea standard (NIFoS, 2020), but the quality (A2, Second class) was improved through screening operation. The WT-unscreened wood chips conformed to NIFoS standard (second class) and did not conform to ISO but were improved through screening operation (Second class). In addition to the energy facility in plant A, all wood chips except CTL-unscreened wood chips were available through drying processing. The WT-unscreened wood chips were the lowest at 99,408 won/Gwt. Plants B, C, and D had higher moisture content than plant A, so WT-unscreened wood chips without drying processing were the lowest at 57,204 won/Gwt. Therefore, the production of logging residues should improve with operation methods that improve the quality of wood chips required for applying the variable biomass and energy facility.

    Where does the wood come from? A matrix model for tracing the origin of wood-based products

    Globally, timber trade flows have increased in recent years. While value is generally added along the entire value chain, certain environmental impacts, such as deforestation and forest degradation, are intrinsically linked to the origin of the roundwood. Bilateral trade statistics are of limited help in providing insights about the location of impacts caused by consumption of wood-based products elsewhere. This is mainly because wood-based products are often imported from countries other than the one from which the roundwood originated. We present a novel method that makes it possible to relate the consumption of wood-based products to the origin of roundwood. Thus, the method helps to provide information on distant environmental impacts of wood consumption.

    The change in forest productivity and stand-dynamics under climate change in East Asian temperate forests: A case study from South Korean forests

    The velocity and impact of climate change on forest appear to be site, environment, and tree species-specific.The primary objective of this research is to assess the changes in productivity of major temperate tree species in South Korea using terrestrial inventory and satellite remote sensing data. The area covered by each tree species was further categorized into either lowland forest (LLF) or high mountain forest (HMF) and investigated. We used the repeated Korean national forest inventory (NFI) data to calculate a stand-level annual increment (SAI). We then compared the SAI, a ground-based productivity measure, to MODIS net primary productivity (NPP) as a measure of productivity based on satellite imagery. In addition, the growth index of each increment core, which eliminated the effect of tree age on radial growth, was derived as an indicator of the variation of productivity by tree species over the past four decades. Based on these steps, we understand the species- and elevation-dependent dynamics. The secondary objective is to predict the forest dynamics under climate change using the Perfect Plasticity Approximation with Simple Biogeochemistry (PPA- SiBGC) model. The PPA-SiBGC is an analytically tractable model of forest dynamics, defined in terms of parameters for individual trees, including allometry, growth, and mortality. We estimated these parameters for the major species by using NFI and increment core data. We predicted forest dynamics using the following time-series metrics: Net ecosystem exchange, aboveground biomass, belowground biomass, C, soil respiration, and relative abundance. We then focus on comparing the impact of climate change on LLF and HMF. The results of our study can be used to develop climate-smart forest management strategies to ensure that both LLF and HMF continue to be resilient and continue to provide a wide range of ecosystem services in the Eastern Asian region.
