Institute of high value forest
1. background
why deforestation or forest degradation
Deforestation for additional foodExcessive exploitation of wood fuelExcessive exploitation of forest resourceHarvest of leaf mouldForest fireDamage by outbreak of insect
Influence of deforestation Serious erosion of soilDeclining water holding capacityCatastrophic effect of flooding Decrease of agriculture productivity
in downward
National policy of governmentRehabilitation of deforested mountains with high value trees
Mandate of forest researchers and land managersRural people’s needs(food, fuel)Sustainable forest management
How to harmony
Addition food + forest rehabilitation➡ Agro-forestry with high value species
Wood fuel + forest rehabilitation➡ Short rotation cultivation with high
productivity species
Agro-forestry is the intentional inclusion of woody perennials
within farming system
Agro-forestry as sustain forest management
Achievement and constraint in AF study
Achievements AF species, duration, patterns, economic efficiency, interaction between tree and crop, productivity of fruit and soil protect
It enable policy makers and rural farmers acceptable

Executive InstituteAcademy of forest science (AFS)
During the last few decades, Academy of Forest Science (AFS) have invested many efforts in developing agro-forestry (AF), as sustainable forest management, in resulting many successes including selection of high value AF species, identification of best crop-tree models, protecting soil erosion, increasing biodiversity and etc. Academy of Forest Science is developing “Forest Carbon Offset” program in AF in order to overcome rural people’s economic difficult and contribute to climate change. To make the program more reliable and transparent, AFS must identify criteria and lists of forest carbon sequestration according to species, density, regions and ages for registration, verification, and validation in “Forest Carbon Offset” program, and establish theoretical and practical base.AFS is also studying about short-rotation woody bio-fuels and integrated pest management to protect damage of forest.
Selecting course of typical Agro-Forestry SpeciesParticipatory tree species selection Identify of AF species in field, listing, grading,
48 AF species, development AF cultivation pattern
Selection of typical AF species through statistical analysis
Statistical analysis, testing, demonstrating in field
Achievement of AF study Selection of AF speciesIdentification of AF cultivation patternsInteraction between tree and cropDiversification of cropsConservation cultivationEffect of soil protect
Selected Typical AF SpeciesAronia melanocarpa Duration 15~20 years - high capacity for soil protection and high fruit
value
Castanea crenata Duration 7~10 years - high capacity for soil protection and high fruit
value
pinus koraiensis Duration 10~15 years - high capacity for soil protection and high fruit
value
Larix kaempferi Duration 3~5 years - high capacity for soil protection and high timber
value
Massive propagation technique of typical AF species
Propagation by bud grafting of chestnutPropagation by seed of Aronia
AF patterns acceptable by rural farmersLong, short term according to AF periodtree+crop, tree+medical plant, tree+fodderline, strip, group
Bio-ecological Characters of AroniaShrub with 2~3m height
Fruit production from 3rd year
No separation of characters in seed reproduction, easy cutting and cultivation
Not so high demand for soil quality
High resistance to cold weather and to pest
Aronia Fruit – Raw Material for Health Promoting FoodsIngredients of Aronia fruit(per 100g of crude fruit)
Anthocyan 5900mg Catechin 870mg
Flavonol 360mg Vitamin C 55mg
β Carotene 2.0mg Polyene acid 0.1mg
Vitamin E 1.5mg Vitamin P 2600mg
Effects of tonic, fatigue relief and senility prevention
Functional improvement in brain, heart and genital organs, acceleration of erythrocyte formation
Crude fruit, injection, extract, tea, jelly, brandy, soft drinks
Scope of Distribution and Cultivation for Aronia
Altitude: lower than 800m above sea level
Low demand for soil, water and temperature, cultivated in all eco-zones with annual rainfall of 500mm, and 1 550 ℃ of accumulated growth temperature
Cultivation trial of 30ha-scale underway at experimental station for economic forest in Yontan County of North Hwanghae Province, introduced in 7 project counties in North Hwanghae Province

Cultivation types for Aronia
Aronia AF model
Advantage of Aronia AFLow-level competition
against crop for light and nutrition
High fruit value (5~7kg/plant at 8th year)
15~20 years of AF duration
Low cultivation cost
Rapid effect in prevention of land loss at sloping lands
Recommendations from ResearchAronia AF can serve as a way-out for long-term food
security bare sloping lands at densely-populated areas.
Aronia AF enables mixed AF for its high rooting rate, high planting density and rapid land protection effect. (pinut + aronia + soybean).
Aronia AF is an efficient AF type with rapid and high fruit value and larger crop cultivation duration.
Aronia AF should be coincided with knowledge transfer for cultivation to local population.
Bio-ecological Characters of ChestnutBroad- and falling-leaved arbor
growing higher than 5m
Fruit production between 4th and 10th year with safe fruit production until 20th year.
Large scale reproduction through grafting
Chestut, as an indegenuos species, has dry-tolerance and well growth even on barren land
Utility of ChestnutDelicious nutritional food
Timber used for stock, ship-building, tie plate for bridge and wheel for hardness and resistance to moisture and decomposition
Usage in forestation of bare mountains for high vitality in draught and poor fertility
Scope of Distribution and Cultivation of Chestnut
As a native species, chestnut has low demands for soil fertility and climatic conditions, which enables the plant to grow in every eco-zone except those higher than 800m above sea level.
Chestnut AF is under cultivation trials at Unjon County of North Pyongan Province and Wonsan City of Kangwon Province and has been introduced into project sites in North Hwanghae Province.
Advantage of Chestnut AFHigh fruit value (2t/ha at 8th
year)7~10 years of AF durationLow cultivation costRapid effect for land loss
prevention at sloping landsTraditional cultivation
techniques mastered by local population
Recommendations from researchChestnut AF can serve as a way-out to short-term food
security in bare sloping lands with high population density and to long-term income increase.
Chestnut AF can improve livelihood of local people without huge investment since chestnut is a species easily cultivated at mountainous areas.
Chestnut AF is an easily applicable AF type for chestnut has been cultivated traditionally.
Chestnut AF is promoted by national policy of expanding chestnut forest.
Bio-ecological Characters of Pine-nut Needle-leaf tree with 2~3m height at 10th year
and 30m height at 100th year
Fruit production after 15~20 years
Large-scale reproduction by seed and grafting
Demand for sandy-loamy soil with good drainage and air flow
Characteristics of growing in population
Pine-nut AF is under cultivation trials in Rinsan County of North Hwanghae Province, Kanggye City and Hwapyong County of Chagang Province, and has been introduced into project sites in North Hwanghae Province.
Bio-ecological Characters of Japanese Larch Needle-leaf tree with height
of 40m
Used as timber after 15 years
large-scale reproduction by seed and branch cutting
Low demand for soil fertility
Scope of Distribution and Cultivation for Japanese Larch
Japanese larch grows in every eco-zone of DPRK up to 40°30′ of north latitude.
It grows in eco-zones with altitude lower than 800~1000mabove sea level.
Japanese Larch AF is under cultivation trials at Wonsan City of Kangwon Province and Suan County of Hwanghae Province and has been introduced into project sites in North Hwanghae Province.
Recommendations from researchJapanese larch AF can serve as a way-out to afforest
bare sloping land with contribution to long-term food security.
Japanese larch AF can serve as a way-out for short-term food security at felled forest or reforested areas.
Japanese larch AF enables AF at areas with high soil erosion for the plant has rapid land protection effect with its high rooting rate and high planting density.
In Japanese larch AF, when the canopy disables AF, multi canopy forest of trees at different ages should be established with trees planted in the space.
