Decision Support Methodologies for Regional Green Growth Strategies-Cases in Low Carbon Districts and Earthquake

Recovery DistrictTsuyoshi FUJITA, Minoru FUJII and Xudong CHEN

Abstract A number of Eco-Industrial Parks (EIPs) or Eco-Industrial Developments (EIDs) are planned and developed in various parts of the world (e,g. Deutz, 2004; Van Berkel, 2006; Chertow, 2007) Asian governments particularly got strong interests in practical application of EIDs (e.g. Fujita, 2006; Geng, Zhang et al, 2009). Various types of Eco Industrial Parks were planned as one of key policy solutions to keep their sustainable industrialization with local and global environmental limitation. A number of demonstration EIPs are planned and developed in many Asian countries and regions from late 1990s, while most of pursuing projects are based more on single stream industries or material flows, unlike preceding Kalundborg case.With the establishment and operation of recycling facilities for treating MSW, particularly replacing raw materials with MSW, both economic and environmental benefits can be gained. These include reduction of natural resource consumption, reduction of the total solid waste volume, reducing the burden on local landfill, reduction of resource costs and solid waste treatment costs, as well as environmental liability and insurance costs relative to solid waste issues. Despite this, public controversy on the appropriateness of such an approach remains. Therefore, a quantitative evaluation of different policy scenarios is required. Such an evaluation should be able to test the overall eco-

10


efficiency of different policy options, including the potential of reduced MSW amount to landfills, reduced CO2 emission, and total cost.

Dr Wouter Spekkink

PhD Student, Erasmus University Rotterdam, Dutch. Wouter Spekkink is part of Governance of Complex Systems (GOCS) research group. This research group focuses on complex governance systems especially the systems dealing with urban and regional development, water systems and infrastructure development. GOCS itself is divided into several clusters, one of which is the cluster of governance of energy and material flows. The researchers who are part of this cluster are committed to producing high impact research on the social embeddedness of energy and material flows, using innovative methods and research strategies. Projects that are being carried out within the cluster investigate the relationship between institutional capacity building and industrial symbiosis, the process of sustainable procurement in the Dutch national government, and the organization of sustainable production and consumption systems. Members of the cluster are also the initiators and coordinators of a European collaborative research project that aims to compare industrial symbiosis developments in different European countries.Publications2011Boons, F.A.A, Spekkink, W.A.H. & Mouzakitis Y.

The Governance of Industrial Symbiosis: A Process ApproachWouter Spekkink

PhD Student, Erasmus University Rotterdam, Public Administration Department, The Netherlands

Abstract The Public Administration department of the Erasmus University in Rotterdam includes a research group that specializes in research and education on the governance of complex systems. Part of this research group is a growing team of researchers that focuses on topics related to the governance of material and energy flows. The team is committed to producing high impact research, using innovative methods and research strategies. One example of an innovative research strategy is the application of the process approach. The process approach is used (among other things) to gain an understanding of how industrial symbiosis in regional industrial systems develops and changes over time, paying specific attention to the social and organizational aspects of the process. The approach involves the systematic collection and organization of large amounts of data, which are processed into event sequence datasets. These datasets are the basis for various longitudinal analyses, such as phase analysis and time series analysis. In our application of the process approach we are specifically interested in the identification of mechanisms: typical causal chains of events that can be found across multiple cases of industrial symbiosis development. In the context of our research project we are interested in a) the

12


mechanisms through which actors build the capacity needed to address industrial symbiosis in a collective way, and b) mechanisms through which actors in regional industrial systems establish specific types of contracts and other organizational arrangements to govern the transactions that different forms of industrial symbiosis entail. An understanding of these mechanisms contributes to our understanding of the different shapes in which industrial symbiosis develops; also, it helps to understand why industrial symbiosis sometimes does not develop at all.

Input-output Evaluation on Eco-restructuring of Manufacturing Process to Improve Industrial Symbiosis: A Case Study of Steel Production at

Hyogo Eco-townNoboru Yoshida

Wakayama UniversityAbstractVarious advanced loop-closing systems are promoted by combining the established infrastructure for manufacturing sectors and the recycling-oriented innovative environmentally-friend production technologies in eco-industrial parks. In this research, Waste Input-Output (WI-O) model, developed by Nakamura and Kondo, were applied to evaluate the material flow and the environmental loads due to technological changes such as scrap melting (SMP) process in steel industry in Hyogo Eco-Town, Japan. Input or technological coefficients were set up for each technology and the substitution scenarios based on the material flow analysis. As a result of the application of SMP technology, a steel industry can reduce nearly 10 to 15 % of virgin material

13


input including the consideration of material input accompanied by additional recycling processes such as automobile recycling. Also, the quality of the pig iron produced by SMP is the same as usual pig iron. So resource productivity is also increased. On the other hand, the application of SMP increased the amount of embodied carbon dioxide and waste reclamation areas to some extent. This was caused by the constraints of scrap steel. Electric furnace sectors are users of scrap steel. In order to make the function unit of steel production equal, pig iron has to be supplied to electric furnace. This would indicate that such recycling technology is effective under little constraint of recycling resources such as scrap steel.

AbstractWith the support of the Ministry of Knowledge Economy in South Korea, the Korea Industrial Complex Corporation (KICOX) is managing a 15-year, three-phase project titled ‘Eco-industrial Park (EIP): construction for establishing infrastructure of cleaner production in Korea’ in which the Ulsan national industrial complexes were selected as one of the five demonstration regions. The goal of this project is to transform these existing conventional industrial parks (CIPs) into EIPs through developing extensive waste and by-product exchanges among tenants in a systematic manner under the coordination of regional EIP centers. However, efforts to transform the CIPs into EIPs need to stimulate the development of ‘designed’ symbiotic networks. To develop and implement such ‘designed’ networks, we established ‘Research and Development to Business Model’ approach for the effective expansion of symbiosis networks in the industrial complexes in Ulsan, South Korea. Furthermore, the steps necessary from planning to implementation of the projects (Enabling mechanism) has also been formulated. Ulsan EIP center has, so far, facilitated and supported a list of 40 symbiosis networks that appear to be the most likely to be beneficial on the basis of their expected business and sustainability benefits, of which thirteen networks are currently in operation, twenty are under negotiation and/or design and seven are under feasibility investigation. The policy instruments like a national EIP program, the presence of a facilitator such as an EIP center, and an enabling framework are observed to have a catalytic role for promoting the CIPs to EIPs.

Evaluation of Forest Ecosystem Services and Its Application for Regional Wood Biomass

Makoto OobaNational Institute for Environmental Studies, Japan

AbstractThere is an important issue that human should be in harmony with ecosystems. Forest ecosystem covers a large part of Japan with a lot of wood biomass, but degradation occurred due to poor forest management. Potential of wood biomass supply was estimated spatially and temporally by using of a dynamic ecosystem model in the Ise bay basin and the Kushida river basin in Japan. Demands of wood biomass such as housing biofuel, were also estimated. Under various scenarios to achieve a sustainable carbon-cycle in the region, some plans of forest management and biomass supply were simulated.

AbstractSustainability is guaranteed when a system is moderately open to keep its modularity and its true nature and maintains a desirable social-ecological regime. To be sustainable, the system needs to build resilience, which could be viewed as, according to our interpretation, a capacity to absorb abrupt external

18


disturbances through open parts of its system boundary so as to maintain the essential system identity, structure, and feedbacks the same. It has been now recognized that a key to sustainability is the fostering of adaptive capacity in social-ecological systems to absorb unexpected disturbances or surprises. This deviates from the common perception that a maximum sustainable limit exists in a system and a society can sustain itself by optimizing its behavior to such limiting factors.Korean societies have long suffered from the deficiency of vital natural resources, two of which are water and energy resources. These conditions played a significant role in shaping traditional landscapes and collective action and social capital of social systems. We will introduce how Koreans traditionally recognized and coped with these limiting resource factors by developing a typical configuration of land uses at a watershed scale and a forest management institution at village and inter-village scales. A discussion will then follow highlighting lessons learned from a sustainability perspective. Based on these traditional practices, we suggest that sustainability is warranted by building both resilience of social-ecological systems and adaptation to limiting resource factors. Social-ecological systems that focus only on the limiting factors could end up being more vulnerable from their entrenched rigidity as unexpected disturbances inevitably arise and strike the systems in a constantly changing environment.

Historical Experience and Knowledge on Sustainable Forest Management of Korea

Joon Hwan ShinKorea Forest Research Institute, Seoul, South Korea

AbstractKorea has a lot of historical experience and knowledge on sustainable forest management. They are originated from the progenitor myth of Korean people and there are remained many forests in the mythical age. There are also remained many forests and mountains concept which had historical events. They all have stories. It is desirable to integrate social system with ecosystem for sustainable development, but it is not easy because only social system has sense of values. Because stories related to the forests and landscapes have valuable meanings, they can integrate social system with ecosystem. Korean traditional stories have been integrating social system with ecosystem and conserving forest ecosystem services in Korea. The stories can be classified into local or national level ones by scales whether those are macro or micro scale of geography. Koreans have kept the story of Backdu-Daegan(白頭大幹), which is the biggest mountain range of Korea. It is the backbone of Korea conceptualized by traditional idea in the macro scale. The story had integrated the social system with ecosystem and had conserved the mountain range very

20


well during the Koryo Dynasty (AD 918-1392), when the Backdu-Daegan idea supported the establishment of the dynasty. During the Joseon Dynasty (AD 1392-1910), the idea was disseminated into the public. The stories of the macro geography also influenced on lower-level conservation such as village landscapes. Koreans conserved the village landscapes very well for sustainability by their legends and established the village groves, where the landform of the village was not organized well under the framework of the macro geography. The traditional village groves have stories, which link organisms to the landscape or link a certain village to another village. Stories about the complement of a shortcoming for a desirable landscape for sustainability of the village play an important role in the landscape complementation. The village community which had legends made rules for the conservation of the common. This kind of tradition helped modern Korea to succeed in reforestation which was recognized by FAO.

Weight of Cities-construction Material Stock and Flow Analysis

Hiroki TanikawaNagoya University, Japan

AbstractA huge amount of construction material is required in urban areas for developing and maintaining buildings and infrastructure. Ageing stocks, which were built during a period of rapid growth in Japan (1955–1973), will cause a new waste flow in the near future. In the future, the balance of materials may change as a result of (1) an increase in waste generation due to the increase in demolished structures, and (2) a decrease in the national budget of civil engineering projects (e.g. roadway construction) that is the greatest consumer of recycled material in Japan. In order to avoid becoming a recycling-dependent society, the focus should be on ‘upstream’ countermeasures, which are more important in the long-term, rather than on ‘downstream’ countermeasures, which are effective in the short-term. In order to assess urban metabolism with regard to building and infrastructure, it is necessary to understand change in its material accumulation both ‘spatially’ and ‘temporally’. In our analysis, material accumulation over time is elucidated using four-dimensional Geographical Information Systems (4d-GIS) data at an urban / regional scale.

Effective Management of Urban Forest with Biotope Map in Siheung, KoreaChoong Hyeon Oh

AbstractBiotope which concept is introduced by Urban Ecology is the integrated concept of ecological and geographical scale. And biotope which is a compound word of Bios(it means life) and Topos(it means space) can be defined as ¡°the habitat of specific biological communities and the habitat that has its own spatial boundaries being separated from adjacent biological communities with a certain minimum area of space¡±. Biotope map is a kind of environmental information map with land-use, impermeable pavement, actual vegetation and animal theme map. Also it can be available to establish an environmental planning to those cities that are going to build up a biotope map because of including the biotope evaluation step. The biotope investigation methodology can be distinguished as several types depending on survey methods, survey precision etc. We may investigate some special areas that have value of conservation in ‘Selective Biotope Mapping method’, survey the hole biotope types of the city in ‘Comprehensive Biotope Mapping method’ and investigate the representative biotope types of the hole city in ‘Representative Biotope Mapping method’. In Siheung, biotope mapping has been conducted for basic database of environmental planning for three years from 2006 to 2009 with five steps. In first step, gathering basic data such as digital map, urban planning map, road map and digital forest map and establishing the standard survey unit were conducted. In secondary step, we organized the investigated data and established maps. In third step, theme maps such as topology map, land use map, impermeable pavement map, actual vegetation map and fauna map were established In forth step, we conducted the biotope type classification and finished the biotope mapping with establishing biotope evaluation maps such as biotope type evaluation and individual biotope evaluation in the final step. In the future, Siheung will establish web-based bitope map service and make efforts to enlarge the range of biotope mapping theme.

Improved Nitrate Pollution Apportionment Via a Bayesian Stable Isotope Mixing Model

Pascal Boeckx, Dongmei Xue, Oswald Van Cleemput and Bernard De BaetsGhent University, Belgium

AbstractAlthough mitigating measures are in place since more than two decades, nitrate pollution in water is still a problem in Europe. Improved management of nitrate pollution could be achieved if nitrate sources could be identified unambiguously. In Flanders the latter is done via an extensive monitoring network. Since more then 20 years of measures still Ca. 30% of the surface water monitoring points exceed at least once per year the WHO limit of 50 ppm nitrate.We proved that nitrate pollution classes (e.g. agriculture, greenhouse,…)each consisting of different nitrate sources (e.g. mineral N, manure,…) can be identified using a decision tree model and classical physicochemical data. However, the pollution classes its self first need to be established using a Bayesian stable isotope mixing model and a k-means clustering of the proportional nitrate source contributions as calculated via the Bayesian mixing model. The ground truth of this approach is that different nitrate sources constitute a pollution class and that different nitrate sources can be distinguished based on 15N-NO3-, 18O-NO3- and 11B measurements.Dr. Alexey Mikhaylov

Simulation Modelling Approaches to Forest Ecosystem Dynamics in Russia

Alexey MikhailovInstitute of physicochemical and biological problems in soil science of Russian Academy of Sciences, Institutskaya st. 2, 142290 Pushchino, Russia

AbstractThe forest area of Russia is 49% of global boreal and temperate forests. Forest ecosystem modeling provides a unique scientific approach for a long-term

27


prediction of the effects of climate and land-use changes. Three main model types are actively used in Russia: analytical (differential equations, matrix models etc.) models, Soil – Vegetation – Atmosphere Transfer models and forest simulation models. EFIMOD (Komarov et al., 2003) is the forest simulation model. EFIMOD consists of tree sub model, soil sub model (ROMUL), statistical climate generator (SCLISS) and some additional components. Tree sub model is a spatial-individual-based model, i.e., the growth of each tree is simulated as a function of the light competition, which depends on the tree’s position within the stand, and the amount of nitrogen available for this tree. ROMUL calculates the rate of tree litter and soil organic matter mineralization and humification with the corresponding carbon dioxide and nitrogen release for plant growth. Rates of decomposition depend on chemical composition of litter, soil temperature and moisture. SCLISS allows for estimation of soil temperature and moisture using measured standard long-term meteorological data. EFIMOD has been used for the simulation of different forest management scenarios under climate changes.

Imprint of Denitrifying Bacteria on the Global Terrestrial Biosphere

E BaiInstitute of Applied Ecology, CAS

AbstractNitrogen (N) influences local biological processes, ecosystem productivity, the composition of the atmospheric-climate system, and the human endeavour as a whole. Here we use natural variations in N’s isotopes, coupled with two models, to trace global pathways of N loss from the land to the water and atmosphere. We show that denitrification accounts for approximately 35 % of total N losses from natural soil, with NO, N2O, and N2 fluxes equal to 15.7 ± 4.7 Tg N yr-1, 10.2 ± 3.0 Tg N yr-1, and 21.0 ± 6.1 Tg N yr-1, respectively. Our

29


analysis points to tropical regions as the major “hotspot” of nitrogen export from the terrestrial biosphere, accounting for 71 % of global N losses from the natural land surface. The poorly studied Congo basin is further identified as one of the major natural sources of atmospheric N2O. Extra-tropical areas, by contrast, lose a greater fraction of N via leaching pathways (~77% of total N losses), than do tropical biomes, likely contributing to N limitations of CO2 uptake at higher latitudes. Our results provide an independent constraint on global models of the N cycle among different regions of the unmanaged biosphere.

Climatic Control of Ecosystems of Eastern Russia in TheHolocene

Pavel V. KrestovBotanical Garden-Institute, Vladivostok, Russia

AbstractThe formation of vegetation of the Northeast Asia is controlled by polar, boreal and temperate macroclimates that differentiate vegetation on Arctic tundra, subarctic boreal (with northern, middle and southern subzones) and temperate (with northern, middle and southern subzones) zones. Basic changes of vegetation along the gradient of continentality depend on the variations of the yearly heat and precipitation distribution and caused the differentiation of 6 continentality sectors: oceanic, suboceanic, maritime, continental, subcontinental and ultracontinental. Climatic factors, especially the amount of heat and its relation to growing season expressed through the Kira's warmth and coldness indices, continentality, availability of moisture in growing season expressed through the evapo-transpirational index, and amount of precipitation and its distribution over a growing season appear to be major contributors into the zonal and sectoral differentiation of vegetation complexes.The most dramatic transformation of regional vegetation took place in the Pleistocene Maximum, when the low temperatures along with severe climatic aridisation caused a qualitative change of the vegetation in the broad areas of mainland Asia and provided an opportunity for migrations of drought- and cold-tolerant species. This study focuses on the problem of the contributions of major Asian floristic centres to the formation of major vegetation types of Northeast Asia in the changing climatic conditions of the Pleistocene and Holocene. The increasing temperature and humidity in the beginning of Holocene caused the formation and expansion of temperate mixed broadleaved deciduous forests composed mainly of humidity-dependent Sino-Japanese species, and

32


temperate Quercus mongolica forests that included drought-tolerant species of Central Asian origin. In the boreal zone, the larch forests reached the coast of the Arctic Ocean in a relatively short period between 10000 and 6000 years BP. Perhaps this period is the time of formation of the extensive moist larch forests and woodlands composed of species adapted to extremely cold winters, hot summers and cold soils lying on top of the layer of permafrost. The ultra-continental climate in conditions of relatively high temperatures caused deepening of the active soil horizons and differentiation of the dry larch forests characterised by the presence of drought-tolerant species of Central Asian and Sino-Japanese origin. These climatic and edaphic conditions appeared to be unfavorable for mesic species. Therefore, the areas with an ultra-continental climate represent an important biogeographical limit for mesic Beringian and Sino-Japanese species. Increasing oceanicity in the period of 5000 - 3500 years BP caused forest retreat that led to the formation of subarctic vegetation characterised by domination by cold tolerant shrubs from the genera Betula, Alnus and Salix.

What we can do with biocharDamdinsuren S

Faculty of Biology and Biotechnology, National University of Mongolia

AbstractThe biochar (biological charcoal) is product of pyrolysis or heating (up to 650oC) of dry organic materials under limited supply of oxygen. The condition of low oxygen usually obtained by tight filling organic materials in closed metallic container with small holes (pyrolyser), through which may come out flammable gas or synthetic gas (syngas). The biochar added in the soil acts as a sponge, keeping water, absorbing nutrient solutions, increasing soil fertility and nutrient use efficiency. Therefore, the biochar added to soil becomes a good place for habitation of soil microorganisms. We constructed and tested several biochar kilns for pyrolysis of waste or by-product organic materials in order to improve soil for tree growth and to prevent emission of carbon dioxide in air, converting organic carbon into more stable form-biochar. Felled dry branches of larch tree, collected during the cleaning of forest flow, were used for starting of pyrolysis. We also used empty gas can for pyrolysis of cattle dung or wood chips: Burning of syngas emitted from pyrolysis gives additional heat for preparation of food and biochar can be added to the soil to improve it. Just after the end of pyrolysis we measured biochar temperature through a small hole on the wall of small barrel, which was 356oC for mild pyrolysis and 605oC for strong pyrolysis. Amount of syngas, which emitted during the pyrolysis of dried cattle dung, was smaller than that for other sources, which showed that syngas from the cattle dung emitted during the natural drying. We studied some physical properties and structure of biochar, obtained from felled birch tree, chips of larch tree, and cattle dung. The biochar, which we obtained, had low density and conducted electricity as like as graphite, although biochar sources did not conducted electricity. The physical properties and function of biochar was related to its porosity structure.

Ecosystem Conservation and Phenology Change to Global Warming in Korea

Sang-Don LEEDepartment of Environmental Sciences and Engineering, College of Engineering, Ewha Womans University, Seoul, Korea 120-750

AbstractEcological relationships may be disrupted when species respond in different ways to climate change. However, evidence for such response mismatches is generally lacking because of the difficulty of obtaining informative data. Here an analysis was presented with the phenological response to climate variation of twelve species: six plants, three birds, a frog, and two insects. Phenology was monitored at 176 meteorological stations in Japan and South Korea from 1953 to 2005, and in some cases even longer. As expected, in response to warming in the region, three plant species are flowering earlier and two others are leafing out earlier over time at most sites; however, the phenology of the six animal species and one plant species either is changing inconsistently or, contrary to expectations, is occurring later over time at most sites. A hierarchical Bayesian model was developed to examine the complex interactions of temperature, site effects, and latitude on phenology. Results show species-specific variation in the magnitude and the direction of their responses to increasing temperature, which also differ from site to site. At most sites the differences in phenology among species are forecast to become greater with warmer temperatures. As a consequence, the phenological relationships among the species are changing, and will continue to change in the future with unknown cascading effects for the communities in which they reside.

A primary goal of this work is to develop a stronger scientific basis for modeling soil organic matter dynamics, ecosystem processes, and the global carbon cycle with an emphasis on how perturbations to ecosystems (e.g., woody plant encroachment, increases in atmospheric CO2, invasive species, storm events) interact with soil properties to sequester or release carbon and nitrogen. We use field-based experiments, such as the Free Air CO2 Enrichment (FACE) sites or maintained chronosequences of forest encroachment, laboratory mesocosm experiments, such as earthworm feeding studies, and a variety of analytical approaches including molecular chemistry, microbial activity assays, and stable isotope techniques.

AbstractIn the Rio Grande Plains region of southern Texas (MAT 22.4°C, MAP 716 mm), a combination of long-term fire suppression and livestock overgrazing has resulted in the progressive encroachment of C3 woodlands into native C4 –dominant grasslands altering the ecosystem biogeochemical dynamics such that soil C and N exhibit accrual with increasing woodland age. We investigated the sources, chemical form, physical association, and degradability of soil organic matter accruing in these sandy loam soils. We find that C accrual is predominantly in particulate soil organic matter fractions. Significant changes in chemistry and abundance of amino compounds, lignin and aliphatic biopolymers within bulk and particulate soil fractions during the first 40 yrs of woody plant encroachment are observed, indicating accrual of purportedly more recalcitrant plant and microbial material. The proportion of total N as extractable amino compounds, however, decreases with increase woody cluster age while the proportion of total C as lignin increases. Long-term soil laboratory incubations also provide evidence for greater biochemical recalcitrance within individual particles as a controlling mechanism for SOC accrual as macroaggregates and free light fraction from older woody stands (34-86 yrs) mineralized a lower proportion of SOC than those younger woody stands (14-23 yrs) and grasslands. In addition, δ13C values of respired CO2 from bulk soils indicate that the mineralized SOC was predominately of C3 origin from all woody stands along the chronosequence, and that respired CO2 was primarily derived from the free light fraction (density <1.0 g/cm3) and macroaggregate-sized soil fraction. Enzyme assays indicate an increase in apparent activity of N acquiring enzymes and a decrease in C-acquiring enzymes with increasing woody stand age indicating a shift from C acquisition to N. The latter may be the result of a buildup of macromolecular organic N that is inaccessible to microbes and thus slows C decay. Overall, these data indicate that both location of soil organic matter as well as chemical form are responsible for the accrual of C and N in this system with limited capacity for physical protection.

AbstractThe cellular automata model is developed for comprehensive analysis of plants population dynamics. The model is based on cellular automata model (Czaran, 1984; Wolfram, 2002). Plants belong to various life forms of plants (short rhizome, long-rhizome) and spread into heterogeneous territory. Heterogeneity is that we mimic a gradient of the factor starting from zero probability of striking daughter plants on one side lattice until probability equal one on the opposite lattice side. Space is represented by a square lattice with periodic boundaries. The modeling plot consists of two layers: first - environmental layer and second - plants layer, acting in dependence with variables from the first layer (Magyar et al, 2004). Plants are located in the sites of square lattice. Plant

development is described from the ontogenetic point of view. Individual plant development may be treated as a number of successive stages, reflecting functional importance of plants in population (Uranov, 1975). The stages are marked out on the basis of morphological indicators of plants. Thus population may be modeled as a set of individuals, belonging to certain ontogenetic stages, spatially allocated on territory (Komarov et al., 2003). The model is a dynamic one being discrete in time, space and ontogenetic stage.This study aims to identify and quantify environmental condition that would prevent spread of modelling population on territory with heterogeneous structure. We run Monte-Carlo simulations with different initial patterns of seeds and heterogeneity. The models demonstrate that the plant population stability is determined by:1) heterogeneity of territory;2) lifetime of plants;3) presence of seed germination;4) length and direction of creeping roots.

Response of Fire Disturbance to Climate Change, and Its Implications in Succession and Management of Chinese

Boreal ForestsJian Yang

AbstractFire is a primary disturbance agent in boreal ecosystems. It creates a spatial heterogeneity in fire frequency and fire severity that has long-lasting effects on forest succession and landscape dynamics. Although there are a great number of published papers on the causes and consequences of fire disturbance patterns in the North American boreal forests of black spruce (Picea mariana) and the North European boreal forests of Norway spruce (Picea abies), such research in the northern Chinese boreal ecosystems dominated by Dahurian larch (Larix gmelinii) is still largely under-explored. Focusing on boreal forests in Northeast China, we used spatial point pattern (SPP) analysis to examine relative influences of various landscape controls (biotic, abiotic, and human factors) on spatial patterns of wildfire occurrence and mapped fire occurrence density under current and future climate conditions. We also used a boost regression tree (BRT) method to quantify how fire severity, interacting with site conditions and pre-fire vegetation, affected post-fire forest succession pathways. Our results showed that both current and future projected spatial distribution of fire occurrence density is strongly related to human activities (e.g., landscape accessibility), with proximity to settlements and roads, and road density found to be the most important influencing factors. High fire occurrence density areas were clustered near roads and human settlements. Vegetation type was the least important variable in explaining the current spatial pattern of fire occurrence. Compared to the current mean fire occurrence density (0.435 fires per 1000 km2 per year), the mean fire occurrence density was projected to increase by 75% under the CGCM3 B1 scenario and by 200% under HadCM3 A2 scenario in 2100. Our BRT analysis

45


showed that higher fire severity generally decreased the seedling densities of both coniferous and broad-leaved trees, but increased the proportion of coniferous tree seedlings. Further research is needed to investigate how the change of fire frequency induced by climate warming will affect fire severity and succession pathways in this cultural landscape.

Impact of Global Warming on Korean Ecosystem and Adaptation Strategy

Woo-Seok, KONG, S.G. Lee, K.H. Yoon, H.N. ParkDepartment of Geography, Kyung Hee University,

Seoul, KoreaAbstractThis work aims, first, to investigate the spatial distribution pattern of nine air holes in Korea, secondly, to collate and map the air hole related DB for the scientific management of air hole environment, thirdly, to evaluate the importance of air hole as a biodiversity pool to preserve the Pleistocene glacial relict flora, which are under threat due to current global warming trend, and finally to suggest the conservation and adaptation strategies for the global warming vulnerable plant species. Data base for nine air hole sites is established on the basis of maps and relevant information of geology, topography, RS images, soil, forest cover, ecology, land-use and our field survey. Disjunctive distribution of mountain cranberry (Vaccinium vitis-idaea) at exceptionally low air hole of Hongchon, central Korea is investigated as a case study. Size of mountain cranberry area at Hongchon is 200㎡ , and it occurs at the elevation of ca. 350m a.s.l. Mean annual temperature of Hongchon air hole at height of 10-15cm marked 5.65℃, and august temperature difference of air hole between the height of 150cm and 10-15cm from the ground recorded 18.3℃. Mountain cranberry grows mainly at alpine and subalpine belts of DPRK, subalpine belt of Soraksan, ROK, and grows disjunctively at air hole of Hongchon. This species might be widespread in distribution during the glacial epochs of Pleistocene Period, but forced to shrink its range since the Holocene Period, mainly due to climatic amelioration and related expansion and competition of neighbouring temperate vegetation. Mountain cranberry of Hongchon air hole belongs to its southernmost and lowest distributional limits in the Korean peninsula, and elevation difference between Hongchon air hole site and nearest habitat Soraksan is 1,200m. This may imply that the mean annual temperature during the Last Glacial Maximum, i.e. reached its coldest peak ca. 22,000 to 18,000 years B.P., might be -6.6℃ lower than today. Cold-loving and high temperature sensitive mountain cranberry has successfully survived at the Hongchon air hole, in which cool summer temperatures are maintained. Mountain cranberry at Hongchon air hole could be in danger due to global warming and competition with other warmth-loving plants, if current warming trend maintained. Further extensive and comprehensive conservation and adaptation strategies are recommended

An Evaluation of Urban Smart Shrink Based on Triple Bottom Line Per spective

Yoshitsugu HAYASH, Takuya TOGAWA, Hirokazu KATOGraduate School of Environmental Studies, Nagoya University

AbstractIn many developed cities, two inevitable problems that affect urban sustainability have emerged. One is the intensification of natural disasters due to increasing amplitude of local weather. The other is aging of population and the subsequent decline of the future economic growth potential. It has become increasingly necessary to develop strategies that maintain citizens' QOL (Quality of Life), considering the fact that these two boundary conditions are turning harder and harder for the cities to sustain themselves. Furthermore, because of urban sprawl influenced by the progress of motorization and the increase of nuclear families, urban society has been weakened steadily.In order to avoid catastrophes, it is necessary to retreat from vulnerable areas against disasters and from sprawled suburban areas, where the residents cannot help depending on automobile because of difficulty in maintaining public transport. And, it is also necessary to induce population to the places where citizens get high QOL by low cost and low CO2 emission.We call this “Urban Smart Shrink” strategy. This strategy enables to maintain citizens' QOL. In this study, based on the above strategy we provide a quantitative method to analyze where to retreat and to agglomerate.We develop a model system called “SURQUAS” (Smart Urban area Relocation model for sustainable QUAlity Stock) for evaluating the sustainability of an urban area in the viewpoints of triple bottom lines consisting of environmental, economic, and social aspects. To measure the triple bottom line, the life cycle “environmental load”, “life cycle infrastructure maintenance costs”, and “quality of life" are quantified. A cohort model is applied to estimate these indicators based on time serial data in each small district. Quality of life indicator can show the difference in individual preference by age group, gender, income group, etc.By applying SURQUAS to the Nagoya metropolitan area, the following results are shown. Both Environmental efficiency and Cost efficiency are low in some center areas due to concrete and steel department buildings and the outer suburbs due to high share of automobile use. Moreover, they are high in the areas along the railway lines. This suggests that removing from the outer suburbs to the central area and near railway station is preferable efficient urban structure.Using this method, we can get optimal population pattern according to reduction percentage in CO2 and/or in maintenance cost of built-up areas.Mr. HyonJu O

Abstract The western low mountain region has very dry and sterile soil in period of April-June, when tree stocks begin to foot due to a small rainfall, a high sunshine and the strong wind. Therefore, the survival rate and the early- stage growth of the planted trees are very low. In this paper, we described about the situations of soil preparation types to provide with soil moisture in spring, the summer tree planting method of Korean nut pine stocks and effect of application of surim-1, a plant-originated agrochemical increasing resistance to the drought.By application of these tree planting methods, the survival of tree stocks may be increased by 115~160% in a very dry site.Keywords: destruct, forest ecosystem, restoration, afforestation

Abstract Introduction of alien species has given human beings great economical and cultural benefits so far and such an introduction of alien species continues and is rather expanded day by day. In contrast to the benefit-focusing aspect of the introduction of alien species in the past, a greater consideration is being taken into its negative impact as well, today. Therefore, it is very important and

Adaptation to Climate Change in Sustainable Forest Management of

Mongolia

Nachin Baatarbileg

Abstract

The Mongolian forest forms a transition zone between the Siberian taiga and the central Asian steppe. The elevation varies between 800 and 2500 m above sea level. Closed forests cover 10.8 million ha which is 7% of the country’s land area (FAO, 2011). The main species are 61 % Siberian larch (Larix sibirica), 8 % Siberian pine (Pinus sibirica), 7 % Birch (Betula platyphylla), and 4 % Scotch pine (Pinus sylvestris). This is a fragile ecosystem whose many essential functions include collecting and regulating river flow, protecting soil from erosion and degradation, mitigating climate change, absorbing greenhouse gas emissions, creating favorable conditions for flora and fauna, preserving permafrost, and maintaining the natural balance. The Mongolian Law on Forest divides forest resources into two categories as the primary basis for management: protected zones occupy 93.2 percent of total forest area, and utilization zones 6.8 percent. The utilization zone is a default category covering remaining forest areas, which are designated for commercial timber harvest subject to permits and government fees. The natural regeneration of Mongolian forest is slow, and the harsh climate causes frequent forest damage by fire and insects. It is estimated that over the last 30 years, unregulated logging, forest fire and insect invasion destroyed 1 million ha of natural forest area. Over the same period, the scarcely forested and logged area increased ten- to 15-fold, and burned forest area three- to fourfold. These areas of scarce, burned and logged forest, as well as that of

55


reforestation, have increased as a result of external factors. Global warming and the negative impact of human activities over the last twenty years have increased the drought area of Mongolia by 3.4 percent, resulting in desertification. The area under severe desertification has increased to become up to 5.4 times as great as it was. Mongolia lost approximately 4 million ha of forest over the last century (World Bank, 2006). The major hazards to forest are climate change, wildfires, pests and unsustainable timber harvesting. This last causes a particularly large share of forest resource depletion. Climate change over the next 100 years is expected to have significant impacts on forest ecosystems. The forestry community needs to evaluate the long-term effects of climate change on forests and determine what the community might do now and in the future to respond to this threat. Adaptation in forestry is a sustainable forest management that includes a climate change focus. Including adaptation in forest management requires a landscape-level view of the forest and integration across all parts of the forest sector. To maintain sustainability of timber and non-timber resources and to assess economic implications, spatial planning tools are necessary to design and evaluate options. Although making these tools work effectively still poses challenges (Loehle et al. 2002), they provide us with an opportunity to evaluate the effects of climate change on future forests and test adaptive responses.Foreign Participants: Tsuyoshi Fujita, Prof., National Institute for Environmental Studies, Japan

Northeast Asia Eco-Forum on Sustainable

Development and Regional Ecological Security

September 21 _ 22, 2011, Shenyang, China

Background:

With the global resource depletion and increasing environmental issues, regional ecological security is facing various challenges, such as natural disasters, climate change, water shortage and pollution, soil erosion, noise, air pollution, etc. There is a common understanding that with current climate change mitigation policies and sustainable development practices, global GHG emissions will continue to grow over the next few decades. Observational evidence shows that many natural systems are being affected by regional climate changes, particularly warming effect. For instance, as a main source for conserving biodiversity, forest is being damaged and destroyed. Resource efficiency is also lower and need to be increased. In order to analyze these problems and raise possible solutions, all the stakeholders in Northeast Asia and other regions should enhance international cooperation so that regional sustainable development can be realized. With this regard, it is timely to host an academic forum with a focus on sustainable development and regional ecological security. The forum offers a platform for professional exchange of knowledge and experience related to sustainable development and regional ecological security problems in Northeast Asia and other regions. Participants are expected from academia, governmental agencies and business sectors. They will discuss and exchange experiences on sustainable development and regional ecological security and related fields, particularly focusing on effective and efficient application of appropriate scientific findings.The forum will include, but not limit to, the following areas: sustainable forest management and ecosystem health, regional industrial symbiosis and industrial metabolism, evaluation of regional ecosystem safety and management policies, ecosystem and global warming—mitigation and adaptation. Sustainable forest management plays a significant role in maintaining the health of the forest ecosystem and thus deserves more attention; Industrial symbiosis and industrial metabolism at regional level are useful tools on increasing resource efficiency and reducing environmental pressures; In order to increase the safety of regional ecosystem, an appropriate evaluation method needs to be raised by considering the local realities. With effective and efficient evaluation,

60


valid management policies can be released so as to ensure that regional ecosystem can sustain for a long term; In addition, more extensive application of mitigation and adaptation policies is required to reduce ecosystem’s vulnerability to climate change.During the forum, participants will also discuss follow-up activities. Particularly, potential collaboration among different countries will be discussed.
