DocumentOther documentReview of methodology on climate change impact and vulnerability assessment for application to the forest sector in Republic of Korea: The first step for mainstreaming adaptation in forest sector
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.As the two laws, The Framework Act on Agriculture and Fisheries, Rural Community and Food Industry and The Creation and Management of Forest Resources Act, were revised in 2015 and 2019, respectively, the Korean government made it mandatory for Korea Forest Service to report the results of climate change impact and vulnerability assessment on forest sector. For implementing the above duty, the National Institute of Forest Science (NIFoS) has categorized the forest sector to eighteen detailed sectors and established monitoring framework to assess the climate change impacts since 2015.
This study aims to develop appropriate methodology and framework for assessment of climate change impact and vulnerability on forest sector in Korea by reviewing what the NIFoS has conducted in comparison with the previous cases in the USA, Canada and the UK. To achieve this, this study first clarifies the ultimate goals of assessment and categorizes assessment areas for each detailed sector. Then, by reviewing the major factors on vulnerability assessment used in the Adaptation Partners Frameworks (USA), the Climate Change Response Framework (USA), the Canadian Council of Forest Ministers Framework (Canada), and the Climate Change Risk Assessment (UK), this study draws the possible stepwise check list with the hope of producing appropriate results on climate change impact and vulnerability which can be utilized in the stage of mainstreaming adaptation in forest sector. The tentative framework drawn from this study contains the considerations about where we need to go and how to go for achieving adaptation.
This study is expected to contribute to establish the essential basis for supporting decision making for finding actual tools to conserve and enhance forest ecosystem services and sustain life of human being under climate change pressure.

ArticleJournal articleTowards predicting the potential distribution areas of phacochoerus Africanus (gmelin 1788) and potamochoerus porcus (linnaeus 1758) in Benin using specific model algorithms
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022

No results found.The mistake is to think that reducing losses in tropical ecosystems is enough to control generally irreversible global change. Suids are found in biodiversity hotspots in Benin, providing enormous ecosystem services that help mitigate the impacts of climate change-related disturbances. This work rightly contributes to the assessment of the effects of climate variability on the future distribution of the Red river hog and the Common warthog in Benin. Following the occurrences collected on the GBIF platform, previous work and those collected in the field, non-climatic and climatic environmental data likely to influence their presence were used while reducing sampling errors. ArcGis software was used through the SDM Tools extension to prepare the data. Modelling was carried out using R software. The AUC, TSS, COR and deviance metrics were considered for the selection of the best model through the present and future RCP 8.5 scenarios by using the GLM, Random Forest and Maxent algorithms. For all species, the AUC and TSS of the Random Forest algorithm gave the highest values. With a quasi-regression of these favourable areas in the north and centre, the Common warthog remains more subject to the effects of climatic variability in Benin than the Red river hog. It is important to better orientate awareness-raising approaches, to carry out educational training on the mitigation of the effects of climate change while ensuring the provision of income generating/benefit activities that respect the environment. The creation of a database on the degree of threat specific to these suids and the updating of data on the status of their preferred areas in Benin is necessary.

ArticleJournal articleYield prediction model for falcata (paraserianthes falcataria (L.) Nielsen) in falcata-based agroforestry systems in Misamis Oriental, Philippines
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.Sustainable adaption of Falcata-based agroforestry systems and improve tree component productivity in Misamis Oriental necessitates derivation of quantitative information on yield. The project was conducted to determine the yield of Falcata planted in agroforestry systems considering various stand characteristics, physiographic characteristics, cultural practice, and pest incidence. A total of 360 rectangular temporary sample plots (1000 m2 or 20 m x 50 m) across 3 cities and 15 municipalities were established. Diagnostic tests, correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis were used to develop the Falcata yield, prediction model. The result showed that the yield of Falcata under woodlot, boundary planting, alley cropping, multistorey, intercropping, and taungya agroforestry systems can be explained by age, merchantable height, site index, and spacing. The final yield model for Falcata is sqrtVolume (m3) = 0.1841444 - 10.42376*1/SI + 0.0029367*SP + 0.0842593*A + 0.0473169*MH. The newly developed model will serve as a guide in decision-making as to the right time to harvest, appropriate density, a suitable site for the establishment, and the right merchantable height for greater productivity.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookStandard operating procedure for soil enzyme activities
β-glucosidases, arylsulfatase, N-acetyl-β-glucosaminidase, dehydrogenase, phosphomonoesterases
2025Also available in:
No results found.This standard operating procedure (SOP) has been harmonized by the joint working group of the FAO's Global Soil Laboratory Network (GLOSOLAN) and the International Network on Soil Biodiversity (NETSOB). The protocol focuses on the determination of five soil enzyme activities: β-Glucosidases, Arylsulfatase, N-acetyl-β-Glucosaminidase, Dehydrogenase, and Phosphomonoesterases. After a general introduction on the importance of soil enzyme as key indicator for soil health and few remarks on the sampling strategies, the determination of each enzyme is presented separately with step-by-step instructions. -
Book (series)Flagship2024年粮食及农业状况
价值驱动农业粮食体系转型
2024揭示膳食的真实成本是打造更包容、更有韧性、更可持续农业粮食体系的第一 步。正如《2023年粮食及农业状况》所述，农业粮食体系活动为社会创造了重大利益， 但也对经济、社会、环境可持续性产生了负面影响。农业粮食体系的隐性成本估计约占全球国内生产总值的10%。因此，采取战略行动至关重要，农业粮食体系中所有行动主体，包括从生产者、农业企业到消费者和政府等，都应发挥关键作用。虽然实现农业粮食体系转型将为全球带来净收益，但转型的收益和成本在各利益相关方和国家之间却难以均匀分配。《2024年粮食及农业状况》基于2023年版的发现，深入探讨如何采用农业粮食体系真实成本核算，确定转型所需的政策干预措施。报告利用经过更新的全球数据库，确认了先前核算的农业粮食体系隐性成本，并详细列出了156个国家与不健康膳食结构和非传染性疾病相关的隐性成本。报告从六种类型农业粮食体系入手开展分析，根据预期结果和隐性成本设计不同的政策干预措施。案例研究便于我们对国家、地方和价值链场景进行深入评估，展示当前做法对经济、社会和环境的影响，为政策干预措施提供指导。在所有场景下，都必须与利益相关方开展包容性协商，以便为干预措施提供依据，并努力调和权力失衡和不同目标之间的利弊取舍。
