ArticleCase studies on Korea-China’s combating desertification cooperation project in China
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.The Korea-China joint research team of National Institute of Forest Science (NIFoS) of the Republic of Korea and the Institute of Desertification Studies, Chinese Academy of Forestry (CAF) of People’s Republic of China, conducted a field study from 2017 to 2018, on 5 research sites in western China, which were set during the period of 2001-2005 as research site to combat desertification. The 5 sites are as follows: 1) Baiyin city (1,540 ha), Gansu Province, 2) Pingluo county (1,000 ha), Ningxia, 3) Tongliao city (3,000 ha), Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, 4) Xiuwen (1,300 ha), Guizhou Province, and 5) Tulufan (1,200 ha), Xinjiang Province. On the above 5 sites, the joint team compared and analyzed the changes of the 1) major vegetation combination before and after the project, 2) land use aspects of the sites and surrounding areas, 3) social and economic aspects, and so on. Considered by the survival rate, the lowest was found about 52% (Pingluo county) and the highest is about 95% (Baiyin city). As for the NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) and income sources, all the 5 sites were found to increase showing rising curves. The field study, however, also found some challenges to be addressed on the sites, including irrigation system, drainage management, density control and so on, which requires constant attention and further studies on these aspects. Also, more in-depth research should be conducted to systematize site characteristics by project sites as database, through continuous monitoring and evaluation of each project site, and to improve and advance restoration-related techniques that can fully address and cover all the potential challenges.

ArticleStudy on residents’ willingness to accept based on double-bounded dichotomous CVM: a case study of Qianjiangyuan National Park pilot, China
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.This study, by taking Qianjiangyuan National Park Pilot as an example, was to analyze community residents' willingness to accept(WTA) for ecological benefits, and the influencing factors, so as to provide some reference for the future policy. Questionnaire survey was conducted on the spot. Guided by the double-bounded dichotomous contingent valuation method (CVM), this study calculated WTA and analyzed its influencing factors. The estimated WTA is 155.37 yuan RMB per mu per year, which is much higher than the current compensation implemented in this area. Respondents' family characteristics (including the number of household labor force, agroforestry income proportion, location, etc.) are more important and significant in their WTA decision-making. The respondents' cognition towards the National Park also affected their choice of WTA. Most of the respondents agreed that the priority goal of the National Park is "ecological protection", and the preferred WTA of the respondents who have this recognition will also be reduced. However, there are still some community residents who do not know the National Park clearly. Therefore, it is necessary to further strengthen the publicity and education work of the National Park to enhance residents' awareness.

Book (stand-alone)Carbon neutral tea production in China – Three pilot case studies 2021
Also available in:
No results found.The Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector is responsible for about 25 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions, but can also be an important part of the solution to climate change, through adaptation and mitigation efforts.As part of its Strategy on Climate Change, FAO is developing the low carbon agricultural commodities approach , based on emission reductions along entire agricultural value chains, with tea and its business model being the first commodity to be evaluated. This report, developed in collaboration with the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (CAAS), assesses the potential of lowcarbon and carbon neutral approaches to tea production. As the largest producer and consumer of tea in the world, China is collaborating with FAO to develop an overall framework and minimum standards for sustainable tea production. This report, based on the case studies carried in three tea fields in Southeast China, provides evidence regarding the results, impacts and achievements of the pilot conducted by the Chinese Academy of Agriculture Sciences (CAAS). The report develops a methodology for accounting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and an estimation of the mitigation and carbon sequestration potential based on the experiences in the pilot tea gardens in China. The report also sets up the key elements of the enabling environment in order to promote the replication of the model to other countries and the base work for a potential low carbon and/or carbon neutral tea certification.
