ArticleForest bioeconomy as an engine for sustainable development, water resources management and mitigation of the effects of climate change
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.Brazil presents a great opportunity for the development of the bioeconomy, based on the management of natural forests, especially public forests, as well as the integration of the forestry component into agricultural systems, especially in private areas. Related to the management of natural forests, the importance of expanding the use of biodiversity products, especially non-timber, in a sustainable manner and with technological innovation, is highlighted. Currently, just 10 products accounts for more than 90% of non-timber forest production from native forests. A potential that is still underutilized, especially if we consider the Amazon biome. With regards to the integration of the forestry component into agricultural systems, the various forms of production developed around the world stand out, which are important alternatives for water conservation, sustainable development and mitigation of the effects of climate change. In Brazil, the Forest Law differentiates areas occupied by family farmers or traditional peoples and communities, encouraging the practice of agroforestry systems in Legal Reserve areas, as longer as they do not deviate from the existing vegetation cover and do not harm the environment. Therefore, agroforestry systems are presented as an alternative for their potential for income generation, water conservation, among other environmental services. In this sense, several practices are discussed around the world, such as: “domestic forest”, “forest gardens”, “climate smart agriculture” and “integrated landscape management. In general, it is observed that Brazil presents a great opportunity for the development of the bioeconomy, from the management of natural forests and the integration of the forest component to agricultural systems. Finally, these development opportunities for the Forest Bioeconomy stand out as paths for Sustainable Development, Water Resources Management and the Mitigation of the Effects of Climate Change.

ArticleIncreasing land cover by promoting agroforestry-based tree planting to sustain community livelihood under various social forestry schemes in Indonesia
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.The high challenges and expectations in the management of Indonesian Tropical Forests to achieve the community welfare, forest sustainability and sustainable development goals, demands proper management in optimizing the use of forest resources to meet the high dependence of community needs on the forest. The pressure on forests is reflected in the deforestation that occurs as an indication of the various dependencies of the community on forests to meet their daily needs. In this regard, Agroforestry is a potential silvicultural recipe as a solution to restore degraded land and forest that can gain balance ecological, economic and social benefits. This paper aims to provide information on plant growth performance and survival rate in the establishment of agroforestry plot for a total 34 hectares in three schemes of Social Forestry in Indonesia, namely Paru Village Forest (VF)–West Sumatra, Cempaka Forestry Partnership (FP)–Lampung, Tuar Tana Community Forestry (CF)– East Nusa Tenggara, in collaboration between Forestry and Environment Research, Development and Innovation Agency with the Asian Forest Cooperation Organization (AFoCO). It was conducted by planting 26 plant sp Intensive Artificial Regeneration with planting distance of 8x8 m and 5x5 m depend on plant species. The collected data covered for survival rate and height measurement. Growth Percentage was observed at ages 1, 6, 12 and 18 months after plan participation which looks high in maintaining their crops while survival rate in Tuar Tana CF was low enough only 43,2% due to the drough in this semi-arid region which affect the plant growth, eventhough the farmers have high effort in maintaining their crops.

DocumentSmell the disease - Developing rapid, high-throughput and non-destructive screening methods for early detection of alien invasive forest pathogens and pests featuring next-generation technologies
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022

No results found.Global forests are increasingly threatened by alien invasive pathogens and pests. The magnitude of this threat is expected to further increase in the future, due to the warmer climate and more extensive global transports and trade of plants. Pests and pathogens are often introduced to new areas by trade with ornamental plants as intermediate hosts, and there is a great need to modernize the tools for detection of alien species in imported plants and in monitoring of those that are already established in our forests. To achieve this goal, research in forest pathology is focused on combining recent technological advances in robotics, next generation sequencing, and mass spectroscopic methods with knowledge about the specific metabolic responses in the pests and pathogens and the trees that they infest. Gas Chromatography (GC) Analysis of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) adsorbed on Solid Phase Micro-Extraction (SPME) fibers is one promising method with potential for high-throughput detection of larger plant shipments. By the establishment of a library of chemical fingerprints characterizing specific pests and pathogens, one could non-destructively scan a large number of plants in ports or nurseries to eliminate presence of disease. The species-specific combination of VOCs can be utilized to prevent introduction of harmful pests and pathogens to new markets. One pathogen considered as a quarantine species and a serious threat on-the-horizon for coniferous forests is Pine Pitch Canker (PPC), a fungal pathogen affecting a variety of pine species with devastating economical and biological consequences, especially if it were to be established in a country like Sweden where about 38% of the standing forest volume consist of pine. Pathogens like this one are already introduced in several European countries, and need to be monitored and identified early to prevent further forest damage – a challenge that Forest pathologists have accepted.
