Korea Forest Service Director, Forestry Industry Policy Director Lim Sang-seop In July 2018, the Korea Forest Service established and announced a new forest policy master plan,'Korea's Forestry Promotion Plan'. The Forest Service plans to promote the forest policy based on the'Plan for the Creation of Korea in the Forest' by 2022, and briefly introduces the main contents of the plan through this article.
Forestry Division Director, Forest Resources Division Joon-Gyu Jo In Korea, interest in the creation of bio-circulating forests for the stable supply of biomass is increasing, while wood-based biomass that can be used such as waste wood, forest products, and by-products according to sanctions is policy It is insufficient. Accordingly, in order to expand carbon sinks and secure wood resources, bio-circulation forests were created for the purpose of harvesting short-lived water and short-lived crops. The promotion status has been summarized.
Pope Roh, Chairman of the Korea Poplar Committee The popularity of poplar as a timber resource in Korea reached its peak in the 1960s, but with the prohibition of planting in riverbeds and the introduction of cheap poplar ash from China, it lost its place. However, in recent years, in addition to the demand for biomass, the use of renewable energy against climate change, and efforts to meet the obligation to reduce carbon dioxide, the environmental purification function of plants has been added, and interest in cultivation of expansive water including poplar has increased. This article summarizes this trend.
The Poplar Committee of Korea, Eun-woon Noh, temperature and humidity are the most important factors affecting the rate of plant development. Over the past 30 years, the temperature in South Korea in Korea has risen by an average of 0.36℃ per year, but is expected to rise by 1.8~3.0℃ in 2071~2100. Several growth responses were predicted for plantations and natural forests to predict the adaptability of aspen trees, a marginal group at the southernmost part of the habitat, due to warming. This is a part of the service project carried out by the Poplar Committee in 2018.
Forestry Resource Improvement Research Division, National Institute of Forest Science, The world will develop new types of forest products and forest markets due to the increasing demand for food, energy and water resources, the rapid increase of foreign products through market opening, and changes in the ecosystem due to climate change. Is forecast. Therefore, in the direction of forest breeding, quantitative improvement that increases the productivity of wood per unit area is given priority over quality improvement of wood. Currently, Korea's forests are large-scale reforestation from the '70s to '80s. Currently, aging is in progress, and carbon absorption is expected to decline. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the boiled water of a large number of properties, such as poplars and black ash trees with high carbon absorption.
(Former) National Forest Research Institute Director of Forest Genetic Resources Taesoo Kim Short-term wood forest can be generally defined as short-lived or short-lived hermit forest. The purpose of short-term timber forests is to harvest continuously renewable wood resources within a short period of time. Summarizes the trends in the construction and management of short-lived timber forests in Germany.
