2006 IPCC 가이드라인에서 제안한 HWP 탄소계정 방법을 이용하여 HWP 내 탄소 저장량을 추정하였고 우리나라 국가 온실가스 인벤토리와 산림 부문에 미칠 영향을 분석하였다. 사용 중에 있는 제재목, 목질보드류, 기타 산업용 목재, 종이 및 판지를 대상으로 하여 목제품 내 탄소저장량의 변화량을 추정하였다. 1970년부터 2008년 동안 사용 중에 있는 목제품 내 이산화탄소 저장량의 연간 변화량은 접근법에 따라 -9,023 Gg $CO_2$/yr에서 4,052 Gg $CO_2$/yr으로 추정되었다. 우리나라는 목제품의 순수입국이기 때문에 탄소 축적 변화 접근법이 가장 유리한 결과를 보였다. 그러나 각 접근법이 목제품의 벌채량 및 교역량, 바이오에너지로의 목재 이용과 재활용에 미치 는 영향은 상이하게 나타나고 있다. 따라서 계정 방법에 대한 우리나라 입장을 결정할 때 국가 온실가스 인벤토리에 대한 영향뿐 아니라 미래에 추진할 산림정책 방향도 고려하여 야기될 수 있는 부정적인 영향을 최소화하는 방법을 선택해야 한다.

Background: This study investigated the variation of soil organic carbon in four land cover types: natural and mixed forest, cultivated land, Eucalyptus plantation and open bush land. The study was conducted in the Birr watershed of the upper Blue Nile ('Abbay') river basin. Methods: The data was subjected to a two-way of ANOVA analysis using the general linear model (GLM) procedures of SAS. Pairwise comparison method was also used to assess the mean difference of the land uses and depth levels depending on soil properties. Total of 148 soil samples were collected from two depth layers: 0-10 and 10-20 cm. Results: The results showed that overall mean soil organic carbon stock was higher under natural and mixed forest land use compared with other land use types and at all depths ($29.62{\pm}1.95Mg\;C\;ha^{-1}$), which was 36.14, 28.36, and 27.63% more than in cultivated land, open bush land, and Eucalyptus plantation, respectively. This could be due to greater inputs of vegetation and reduced decomposition of organic matter. On the other hand, the lowest soil organic carbon stock under cultivated land could be due to reduced inputs of organic matter and frequent tillage which encouraged oxidation of organic matter. Conclusions: Hence, carbon concentrations and stocks under natural and mixed forest and Eucalyptus plantation were higher than other land use types suggesting that two management strategies for improving soil conditions in the watershed: to maintain and preserve the forest in order to maintain carbon storage in the future and to recover abandoned crop land and degraded lands by establishing tree plantations to avoid overharvesting in natural forests.

We conducted an analysis of agroforestry system efficiency to conserve biodiversity in the Mbalmayo Forest Reserve (MFR) between March 2018 and June 2018. A synthesis of forest fragmentation data observed on multiple strata and scale satellite imageries over 31 years, between 1987 and 2018 as well as, the use of both a floristic and a faunal surveys, revealed that although 29.28% of natural forests was fragmented and converted to agroforests landscapes, banana and cocoa based agroforest appeared to perform the most relevant records in carbon storage and to attract wild terrestrial and avifauna. Analysis of NDVI, NDWI and Iron Oxyde helped monitor the vegetation cover of the reserve, and differentiate natural and fragmented classes, majority of conserved forest wetlands and agroforestry systems, and a minority of natural dryland forest. Further analysis also revealed significant correlations between NDVI and Shannon Index, and between NDVI and carbon stock. Based on the NDVI value and the equation Y=3.827×X-1.587 (where Y for the carbon stocks and X for NDVI value), we estimated the total carbon stock of the forest reserve at about 99557.6 tonnes, and its mean value at about 8.491 tons/ha. Nevertheless, environmental efforts to sustainably manage agroforestry landscape appear to be a relevant key to conserve wild biodiversity and mitigate climate change at the level of the Mbalmayo Forest Reserve. If anthropogenic activities have deeply changed the reserve's natural landscape, reduced its carbon sequestration performance, and wildlife conservation status, forest wetlands appear to remain its most conserved places and the best refuge for wild fauna still occurring in diverse strata of the MFR.

국내의 탄소중립 정책은 다분히 온실가스 감축정책 위주로 구성되어 있는 것에 반해 미국, 영국, 중국 등 탄소중립을 선언한 국가는 경제성장과 기후변화를 동시에 달성하겠다는 목표를 갖고 있다. 본 논문은 온실가스 배출의 넷제로를 의미하는 탄소중립 개념을 램지의 경제성장 모형에 포함함으로써 탄소중립 정책이 자본축적의 장기적 동태적 과정에 미치는 효과를 분석하였다. 아울러 지속가능한 경제성장을 달성하기 위한 이른바 하트윅 규칙을 내포하였다. 넷제로의 탄소중립이 자본과 소비 경로의 정상상태와 더불어 나타날 때의 정상상태 균형을 분석하였다. 분석 결과를 보면, 램지 모형에 탄소중립과 하트윅 규칙을 포함할 경우 자본의 축적이 저규모 수준에서 정상상태에 도달하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 재생에너지 확대가 다수의 이해집단에 의해 지대추구 대상이 될 때에는 자본축적 규모가 보다 더 악화될 수 있기 때문에, 에너지 전환과정에 공정한 시장제도 설계가 중요함을 알 수 있다.

This study was carried out in degraded and non-degraded community forests (CF) in the Terai region of Kanchanpur district, Nepal. A total of 63 concentric sample plots each of 500 ㎡ was laid in the inventory for estimating above and below-ground biomass of forests by using systematic random sampling with a sampling intensity of 0.5%. Mallotus philippinensis and Shorea robusta were the most dominant species in degraded and non-degraded CF accounting Importance Value Index (I.V.I) of 97.16 and 178.49, respectively. Above-ground tree biomass carbon in degraded and non-degraded community forests was 74.64±16.34 t ha^-1 and 163.12±20.23 t ha^-1, respectively. Soil carbon sequestration in degraded and non-degraded community forests was 42.55±3.10 t ha^-1 and 54.21±3.59 t ha^-1, respectively. Hence, the estimated total carbon stock was 152.68±22.95 t ha^-1 and 301.08±27.07 t ha^-1 in degraded and non-degraded community forests, respectively. It was found that the carbon sequestration in the non-degraded community forest was 1.97 times higher than in the degraded community forest. CO₂ equivalent in degraded and non-degraded community forests was 553 t ha^-1 and 1105 t ha^-1, respectively. Statistical analysis showed a significant difference between degraded and non-degraded community forests in terms of its total biomass and carbon sequestration potential (p<0.05). Studies indicate that the community forest has huge potential and can reward economic benefits from carbon trading to benefit from the REDD⁺/CDM mechanism by promoting the sustainable conservation of community forests.

This study was intended to analyze the average abatement cost (AAC) of forest carbon offset projects to suggest a basic credit price for government purchase of forest carbon credits. For this purpose, an a/reforestation project and a forest management project were designed with 30 years of project period. It is assumed to plant pine trees (Pinus densiflora) for the a/reforestation project, while it is assumed to replace rigida pine trees(Pinus rigida) with oak trees (Quercus acutissima) for the forest management project. For each project, the forest carbon stock was calculated and the revenue and the cost were analyzed with standardized management activities. Korea Forest Service has supported private forest owners the cost of management activities and the consulting fee for designing carbon offset project. Therefore, the AAC were analyzed for two cases : the one with subsidy for consulting fee (case 1) and the other with subsidy for both consulting fee and management costs (case 2). In addition, the sensitiveness of AAC was analyzed according to the 4 credit prices : ￦5,000, ￦10,000, ￦15,000 and ￦20,000. The result showed that the AAC analyzed for the case 1 was so high that net revenue would not be expected from all project types with any credit price. However the AAC analyzed for the case 2 was relatively lower than the AAC of case 1. Net revenue was expected from a/reforestation project with credit price over ￦10,000, while from forest management project with credit price over ￦15,000. Based on the AAC analyzed in this study, ￦15,000 was suggested as the basic price for government purchase of forest carbon credit.

This research aims to examine the effect of carbon emission disclosure on firm value and to reveal environmental performance and industrial type as the moderating variables. This study used 82 samples of companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) and receiving awards in the Indonesian Sustainability Reporting Award (ISRA) in 2014-2018. This study used a multiple linear regression analysis to test the hypotheses. The results showed that carbon emission disclosure had a positive and significant effect on firm value as carbon emission disclosure is a form of corporate concern on environment positively responded by the market and becomes the basis for investors to make their considerations in assessing the company sustainability. Besides, environmental performance and industrial type can strengthen the influence relationship of carbon emission disclosure on firm value since environmental performance was assessed based on ISO 14001 certification ensuring that the company has tried to preserve the environmental sustainability by creating a good environmental management system. Moreover, companies categorized into high profile industrial type have tried to change their unfavorable image and avoid lawsuits by performing carbon emission disclosure to gain positive responses from the market.

Tropical dry forests are one of the most threatened, widely distributed ecosystems in tropics and estimation of forest biomass is a crucial component of global carbon emission estimation. Therefore, the present study was aimed to quantify the biomass and carbon storage in trees on large scale (10, 1 ha plots) in the dry mixed evergreen forest of Javadhu forest of Eastern Ghats. Biomass of adult (≥10 cm DBH) trees was estimated by non-harvest methods. The total biomass of trees in this tropical dry mixed evergreen forest was ranged from 160.02 to 250.8 Mg/ha, with a mean of 202.04±24.64 Mg/ha. Among the 62 tree species enumerated, Memecylon umbellatum accumulated greater biomass and carbon stocks (24.29%) more than the other species in the 10 ha study plots. ANOVA revealed that there existed a significant variation in the total biomass and carbon stock among the three plant types (Evergreen, brevi-deciduous and deciduous (F (2, 17)=15.343, p<0.001). Basal area and density was significant positively correlated with aboveground biomass (R² 0.980; 0.680) while species richness exhibited negative correlation with above ground biomass (R² 0.167). Finding of present study may be interpreted as most of the trees in this forest are yet to be matured and there is a net addition to standing biomass leading to carbon storage.

본 연구는 아까시나무 군락에 대한 현재 생육지 분포면적의 파악과 임분수확량 및 탄소저장량을 구명하기 위하여 수행되었다. 아까시나무에 대한 분포면적은 1:5,000 임상도를 이용하여 추출하였으며, 임분수확량은 Weibull 직경분포모델을 이용하였고, 탄소저장량 및 흡수량은 임분수확량에 탄소배출계수를 적용하여 산출하였다. 임분수확량을 산출하기 위하여 임분 평균직경, 임분 흉고단면적, 최소 및 최대 직경 등 임분 생장인자에 대한 추정식을 산출하고 정확성을 검증하였다. 이 결과 모든 생장인자의 추정식이 분석에 이용할 수 있는 유의성을 가지고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 임지의 생산력을 판정할 수 있는 지위지수를 도출한 바, 지위지수는 16~22 범위에 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 이들을 종합하여 임분수확표를 만들었다. 우리나라 아까시나무는 경상, 충청 및 경기도의 내륙에 주로 분포하는 것으로 나타났으며, 총 면적은 26,770 ha에 달하는 것으로 나타났다. 이를 탄소저장량으로 전환한 결과 2,517,598 tC 였으며, 연간 3.76 tC/ha를 흡수하는 것으로 계산되었다. 이는 탄소흡수량이 높은 수종으로 알려져 있는 참나무류와 유사하여, 추후 아까시나무가 기후변화 시대에 온실가스를 저장하는 수종으로서의 역할도 충분히 가능할 것이라 판단된다. 또한 본 연구에서 만든 임분수확표는 아까시나무 경영 및 관리정책에 도움을 줄 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
