From ‘clean and green’ to ‘brown and down’: A synthesis of historical changes to biodiversity and marine ecosystems in the Marlborough Sounds, New Zealand

Ecosystem-based management (EBM) is a potential antidote to the alleviation of multiple stressors in highly-valued and contested marine environments. An understanding of the magnitude and drivers of past ecosystem changes can inform the development of realistic ecological and social outcomes for different places. These goals should aim to increase the ecological health and resilience of coastal ecosystems and their connected land- and sea-scapes by minimising anthropogenic disturbances. To address knowledge gaps, we present a marine historical synthesis of the Marlborough Sounds in New Zealand's South Island. These rias are strongly coupled to the surrounding land and inland river catchments. We took an integrated approach by examining effects of land use change on coastal ecosystems, along with case studies of the effects of exploitation on foundational marine species. We found that ecosystems have gone through a series of transformations since Māori settlement ca. 700 years ago, with localised extirpations of marine megafauna, overharvesting of exploited species, and disruption to ecological functioning through ongoing clearfelling of terrestrial and marine biogenic communities since European settlement in the 1800s. There has been a decline from great abundance of marine life to relative scarcity, which is currently evident to local people in increased effort and reduced allowable catches of fish and shellfish. Recovery of biodiversity in the short-term within the Marlborough Sounds is uncertain, given ongoing multiple and interacting stressors from unsustainable land-use and over-exploitation of marine life. Lifting baselines are possible but will require significant changes to land and marine management to restore ecological health and enhance resilience in the face of climate change. Increased marine protection, regeneration of biodiverse biogenic habitats, spatial fishing measures to increase predators of sea urchins, stricter regulation of plantation forestry and a replanting prohibition in critical erosion source areas, are all needed within an EBM framework. Large experimental areas are proposed to develop, test and integrate different management techniques, and to facilitate community understanding, participation, and support for the transition to EBM.

Detection And Characterization of Forest Harvesting In Piedmont Through Sentinel-2 Imagery: A Methodological Proposal

This study evaluated the effectiveness of Sentinel-2 (S2) as a tool for early detection and estimation of forest harvesting in the Piemonte Region, which can be used by the regional forest administration. The priority was the detection, at the regional scale, of annual forest cover changes with the following goals: i) mapping of irregular (in respect of the regional Forestry Regulation) forest cuts; ii) quantification of the intensity of the silvicultural interventions. Results are expected to support forest police controls. The proposed procedure is based on a supervised classification approach based on Random Forest algorithm. Accuracy of harvested areas detection proved to be high (overall accuracy 98%). Characterization of the occurred forest cuts was obtained computingthe local coefficient of variationof the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) after harvesting, that showed to be a good predictor of forest harvesting intensity.

The Bioenergy ‘Blind Spots’ in EU Climate and Energy Law

This article analyses how the climate performance of forest-based bioenergy is treated under the revised European Union (EU) climate and energy law in the form of the recast Renewable Energy Directive and the new land-use, land-use change and forestry (LULUCF) Regulation on land use and forestry. Forest-based bioenergy exemplifies the troubled relationship between bioenergy, forest management and emissions and removals from the land use and forestry sector. The article focuses on the climate-related legal challenges that arise from the regulatory approach taken to the use of forest-based bioenergy as a widely available renewable raw material for energy production. The article argues that this regulatory approach does not fully consider the underlying climate-related concerns and hence the current approach risk weakening the overall ambition of the EU’s legislative approach to the challenge of climate change. This article exposes the ‘blind spots’ in the link between the Renewable Energy Directive and the LULUCF Regulation both to support this argument and to point out the grave challenges related to the current legal approach on bioenergy. forest-based bioenergy, carbon neutrality, climate change, climate law, energy law, the Renewable Energy Directive, the LULUCF Regulation

Bosques nativos y gestión sustentable en el Chaco seco Argentino

En el presente trabajo analizamos un caso particular a nivel nacional y sub-nacional (profundizando la provincia del Chaco), desde la perspectiva teórica del desarrollo sustentable. Es el caso del aprovechamiento de los recursos naturales, la interacción bosque/actividad agropecuaria, la regulación e implementación del paquete de políticas públicas a un sector de la economía en particular: el sector forestal de la provincia y su interacción con los bosques nativos. El objetivo del presente trabajo es observar el impacto de la implementación de la Ley 1762-R (antes 6409) (OTBN) donde el aprovechamiento de los recursos naturales se realiza de manera tal que posibilite la satisfacción de las necesidades del presente sin comprometer a las generaciones futuras . El caso de la implementacion de la Ley significó un antes y un después en la regulación de la actividad forestal, forestoindustrial, su inter-relación con la expansión de la frontera agropecuaria y con la ciudadanía en general. No obstante, se encuentra inmerso en una estrategia de desarrollo nacional que no permite superar los mecanismos de transferencia de valor hacia países centrales bajo la lógica extractiva como mecanismo de compensación de productividad.

Analysis of Water System Condition for Monitoring of Critical Area in Jangkok Watershed

An assessment of Jangkok River’s water system conditions is needed to its monitoring watershed criticality to prevent various problems and for conservation purposes. The aim of this research was to assess the condition of Jangkok River’s water system over the past 17 years using the Republic of Indonesia Minister of Forestry Regulation No. 61/Menhut-II/2014 concerning Monitoring and Evaluation of Watershed Management. The assessment results showed that Jangkok is in a good conditions but it tends to deteriorate that was indicated by the tends of increasing Flow Regime Coefficient and Annual Flow Coefficient. The mean of Flow Regime Coefficient’s value of upstream is 65.66 (medium) and downstream is 333.63 (very high), while the increasing rate of 7.72 and 59.13 a year respectively. The mean Annual Flow Coefficient is 0.14 for upstream and downstream 0.22, which increases 0.99% and 0.93% a year respectively. The tendency of the value of the Water Use Index decreased with an annual average of 0.31 and a rate of decline of 0.005 a year. The assessment result shows that Jangkok is GOOD in water system condition but it requires more attention to maintain its function and ensure water sustainability.

Do forest-management plans and FSC certification help avoid deforestation in the Congo Basin?

To allow for the production of timber while preserving conservation values, forestry regulations in the Congo Basin have made Forest Management Plans (FMP) mandatory in logging concessions. This paper uses original high-resolution maps of forest-cover changes and official records on the activities of logging concessions to analyze the impact of FMP on deforestation in this region. We apply quasi-experimental and difference-in-difference approaches to evaluate the change in deforestation in concessions managed under an approved FMP. We find that between 2000 and 2010, deforestation was 74% lower in concessions with an FMP compared to others. Building on a theory of change, further analyses revealed that this decrease in deforestation takes time to occur and is highest around communities located in and nearby logging concessions, and in areas close to previous deforestation. These findings suggest that FMP help avoid deforestation by allowing logging companies to rotate cycles of timber extraction, thereby avoiding the overexploitation of areas that were previously logged, and by the better regulation of access to concessions by closing former logging roads to limit illegal activities such as shifting agriculture, hunting and the illegal harvest of timber or fuel-wood.

The impact of forestry as a land use on water quality outcomes: An integrated analysis

The adoption of the EU land use, land use change and forestry (LULUCF) regulation ensures that for the first time afforestation in Europe will contribute toward the achievement of European Union (EU) climate change commitments under the Paris Agreement. However, increased afforestation in Europe could have unintended environmental trade-offs that may hamper the achievement of EU Water Framework Directive targets. While much of the previous forestry research has focused on the potential negative impacts of afforestation and harvesting processes on water quality at a single point in time, this study applies an ordered probit model to investigate the impact of afforestation and forest cover (in a predominantly agricultural setting) on water quality over a 20-year period. In addition, we present an analysis of a simulated increase in afforestation and forest cover, and a corresponding decrease in agriculture area, on water quality. The results show an increase in water quality in 2.62% of cases. Both increased forest cover and the substitution of livestock have a positive impact on water quality outcomes. Despite the negative impacts associated with the process of afforestation, the long term positives associated with forest cover over the course of a forest rotation, make it a preferable land use option in terms of water quality relative to more seasonal agricultural land uses. Given the expected increase in afforestation in line with national policy, Ireland offers a unique opportunity to observe the outcomes of a large scale afforestation programme in a rural setting. The findings of this paper offer a deeper insight into the impacts of afforestation and forest cover over a meaningful time frame that is not available in site specific studies and studies focused on individual management interventions.

Forestry production in Ukraine: formation and reformation on the way to a market economy

Informative sources of forestry production in Ukraine have been investigated in connection with the transfer of the economy to market bases. The subject of the research is the use of land resources for growing forest, related to forestry products, services. The purpose of the study is to develop current forestry regulations, accounting and reporting sources for land resources. It is proved that in the process of management under the principle of «State-outside forest management», accounting and statistical reports were formed mainly in relation to the «State Forest Fund», i.e. products of forestry, instead of land. Hence the name COVV — State Agency of Forest Resources of Ukraine. On the same basis, problems with the definition of the term «Forestry». The most noticeable changes in forestry production of the twentieth century were felt by the economy of enterprises and regions after the adoption of the Forest Law Legislation of the USSR and Union Republics. That is, after the introduction and definition of the term «Single State Forest Fund» and the term «Lands of the State Forest Fund». The mechanisms of accounting and reporting of land use efficiency by financial indicators were lost. At the same time, there is state reporting and control over them.The problems of estimation of the state of lands by taxation categories of their accounting in comparison with the structure of the Standard Statistical Classification of EEC/FAO are covered. It is proposed to move to the division of forest land by ecological components of forest ecosystems. Errors of the Order of the State Land Committee of Ukraine of July 23, 2010 No. 548 «On Approval of the Classification of Specific Purpose of Lands» registered by the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine, in general, and in particular, the category «Forest lands and other forested areas», with its classification in section H, Section 9, which contradicts the Forest Code of Ukraine and the ECE/ FAO JCC. Scope of the results of the study: management bodies of the State Land Agency, the State Forest Agency, the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine, scientific institutions of the agrosphere, nature protection and environmental safety, etc.

Tofu’s Liquid waste treatment by continuous vermibiofilter column-type reactor

The demands of tofu as food constantly increase in Indonesia, a large amount of clean water for production process of this food enhance significantly and resulting amount of liquid waste discharging goes to the sewer system increase and finally arrive into the streams or rivers in almost all big cities in Indonesia. Currently, only view of tofu makers which have waste water treatment plant however far from the standard which is expected for treating this liquid waste. Sampling of this liquid waste from centre of tofu maker were not comply the ministry of environment and forestry regulation (PerMenLH No.5 Tahun 2014). Therefore, in this study we have used vermibiofilter column-type reactor for treating Tofu’s liquid waste for reducing the concentration of pollutant. Vermibiofilter has chosen since this technique is regarded as simply way for treating the tofu’s liquid waste and also will provide a benefit for earthworm farmer in which this tofu’s liquid waste is food stuff for earthworm. The Species of earthworm we have used was Lumbricus rubellus that is an endemic earthworm in Indonesia. Usage of earthworm in biofilter column-type reactor shown that the removal efficiency of turbidity, TSS, COD, and BOD are 99.2 %, 66.19 %, 80.77 % and 81.05 % respectively and for column-type reactor without having earthworm (biofilter) as a control, the removal efficiency for Turbidity, TSS, COD and BOD are 98.4 %, 41.93 %, 66.77 % and 66.7 % respectively. This result showed that earthworm Lumbricus rubellus plays significant role for degrading organic matter, producing the microorganism decomposer and also absorbing organic matter.

Detail Engineering Design (DED) Domestic Wastewater Distribution and Treatment System in Sampangan, Bendan Ngisor, Petompon, Gajahmungkur District

Environmental sanitation is one of the programs in the International Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2030. Semarang Mayor Regulation No. 42 of 2013 on Semarang City Wastewater Masterplan has classified the domestic wastewater management system into two types, off-site and on-site operations. Gajahmungkur district is included in the off-site system. Sampangan, Bendan Ngisor, and Petompon are part of Gajahmungkur district that directly bordered by Kaligarang river. Most residents dispose of greywater into water bodies. This paper aims to present the results of the Detail Engineering Design (DED) domestic wastewater distribution and treatment system. The method of sampling wastewater used SNI 6989: 59: 2008. Based on the results, TSS values 236 mg/L, COD 331 mg/L, and BOD 116 mg/L. This result shows that the domestic wastewater produced is still above the Minister of Environment & Forestry Regulation No. 68 of 2016. The installation of wastewater used for the Gajahmungkur district consists of Grit Chamber, Collecting Wells, Anaerobic Baffled Reactor, Settling Tank, and Chlorination Tank. The type of domestic wastewater distribution system is a shallow sewer. This plan is divided into 11 blocks and serves a population of 20, 097 people. The planned budget for the costs required to make this plan is IDR35.016.315.000, 00.

The Study of Silviculture System for Selective Cutting and Line Planting (TPTJ) and Indonesian Selective Cutting and Planting (TPTI) Application at PT Intracawood Manufacturing Bulungan Regency, North Kalimantan

Selective Cutting and Line Planting (TPTJ) silvicultural systems and Indonesian Selective Cutting and Planting (TPTI) are two of the five silvicultural systems that have been determined by the Ministry of Forestry Regulation No. P.11 / Menhut-II / 2009 juncto P.65 / Menhut-II / 2014 concerning silvicultural systems in the area of timber forest product utilization permits (IUPHHK) in production forests. Three other silvicultural systems based on the regulation are the Gap Logging silviculture system, the Fully Made Rejuvenation System, and the Multi Silviculture System. This study aims to examine the implementation of the TPTJ and TPTI systems in the PT Intracawood Manufacturing (PT Intraca) area, Bulungan Regency, North Kalimantan. The methodology of this research is through the approach of growth analysis, comparison of stand increment, observation of environmental conditions, interviews and literature study. Based on the field research, it was found that the diameter increments of Shorea leprosula, Shorea dasyphila, and Shorea parvifolia were greater in the TPTJ system compared to TPTI. However, the TPTI silviculture system at PT Intraca is easier to apply in the field than the TPTJ silviculture system. The TPTJ system has become less effective because planting in the TPTJ system has been carried out by making a 3-meter wide track with a length of approximately 1 km in a plot and if there is potential for the wood to become ineffective. In the area of PT Intraca, to improve the effectiveness of the TPTJ system a mosaic system is used where the planting path is made only in areas with less potential and representative for planting. The types of plants planted in the TPTJ system are far superior, perspective, and are faster than the types of plants in the TPTI system. Planting/enrichment in the TPTI system is easier because it does not need to make a planting path. Planting with seedlings from the extraction is only a transfer from the growth of tillers from areas with an excessive potential for tillers.

Activation of Natural Zeolite and Its Application for Adsorbents in Domestic Wastewater Treatment in Tembalang District, Semarang City

Tembalang is one of the districts in the city of Semarang whose economic growth is rapid. There are 12 sub-districts in Tembalang district, one of which is the Tembalang sub-district, which is within the campus area of Diponegoro University. When compared with other sub-district in the Tembalang district, the Tembalang sub-district community's need for clean water and domestic wastewater disposal is very high because of its dense population. Handling domestic wastewater is one of the environmental problems, which is interesting to study. Domestic wastewater, in addition to causing environmental pollution, can also cause discomfort and even health problems. One way to reduce the impact of domestic wastewater is to treat domestic wastewater before the environment is discharged. This study aims to describe the character of domestic wastewater in Tembalang sub-district, Tembalang district, Semarang city, and the use of activated zeolites and activated zeolites to reduce COD, pH, BOD, and TSS in domestic wastewater. Also, to compare the parameters of wastewater with regulations in force (Minister of Environment and Forestry Regulation No: 68 of 2016). This research is expected to improve the quality of domestic wastewater by adsorption using natural zeolite and activated zeolite adsorbents. The results showed that the adsorption treatment with natural zeolites and activated zeolites significantly improved water quality. The results of adsorption by natural zeolites showed a decrease in COD of 21.8%, a pH of 11.5%, BOD of 9.2%, and a TSS of 10.8%. Whereas adsorption by HCl-activated zeolite resulted in a decrease in COD of 78.9%, pH of 16.2%, BOD of 11.8% & TSS of 74.4%. While H2SO4-activated natural zeolite reduced COD by 85.5%, pH 17.9%, BOD 12.6% and TSS 89.7%.

Three Decades of Urban Forest and Green Space Research and Practice in Croatia and Slovenia

Background and Objectives: Urban forests and green space contribute to human wellbeing. Green infrastructure is recognized by the European Union as a planning tool that contributes to the implementation of many public policies, with urban forests and green space as its main building blocks. Croatia and Slovenia are young democracies and recent members of the European Union. Hence, they also need to contribute to the implementation of those policies. Previous review studies on urban forests and green space rarely addressed scientific or professional publications in those countries. Furthermore, the body of knowledge about urban forest and green space research and practice in post-socialist countries is still rather weak. The goal of the paper is (a) to show that urban forest and green space research and practice is much stronger in these countries than it is possible to assume based only on previous review papers or only by searching Scopus and Web of Science, and (b) to describe publications written by scientists and professionals in the past 30 years. Materials and Methods: We used a trilingual systematic literature review to identify scientific and grey literature in various databases, as well as a snowballing technique, and yielded 211 publications in Croatia and 84 in Slovenia. Results: We identified many more publications on urban forests and green space science and practice in Croatia and Slovenia than it was possible to assume based only on previous review papers and when searching solely publications in English. Croatian authors showed continuity over time in terms of number of publications, while Slovenian publications have been on the rise in the past decade. In both countries, scientific papers were most frequent, and the vast majority of studies addressed capital cities. Croatian publications mainly focused on parks and park-forests, while Slovenian publications focused on urban forests. Interestingly, Croatian authors were affiliated with over 60 organizations, and in comparison to Slovenian authors, have stronger preference towards publishing in their local language. Green space planning and design followed by resource inventory were the most frequent themes. The least addressed themes in both countries were resource management, economic aspects, policy, legislation or governance. Conclusions: Important discussion in the future, especially in Croatia, would be regulation of urban forestry as a profession. Cross-sectoral and interdisciplinary studies, as well as focusing on cities other than capitals in future, can help in addressing issues such as climate change or application of participatory approaches.

The Importance of Sustainable Tourism Governance at the Natural Area Pantai Carita

Aims: The purpose of this report is to show how important the formation of Destination Management Organization (DMO) for overlapping document legal policy in the management of the use of Banten Jungle Park. Regional government regulations in an area of Jungle Park is the territorial government and with the ministry of forestry, the forest management authority is under authority of Ministry of Forestry. The problem is with the local governments were not providing space for conservation and a limitation on tourism activity in the Jungle Park, while the Ministry of Forestry regulation, conservation is the main purpose of forest management in which there is special restrictions to be done in the use of the forest as conservation tourism. By the existance of Spatial Planning Forum, all stakeholders have interest and objectives together so the Forest conservation efforts could be done well as together.
 Presentation of Case: Based on legislative regulation prevailing the management of Banten Forest park, it is given to the ministry of forestry and provincial government, as well as the district government. From the aspect of tourism sustainable development, the situation of overlapping legislative regulations could be obstacles in the practice of sustainable tourism in the Banten Forest park because the two agencies have a different interest in forest utilization.
 Discussion: In various destinations, DMO is not just change the place to be tourist destination, describing tourism policy which is less integrated to become integrated and coordination between various stakeholders. At the moment, DMO have adjusted the tasks and activities in marketing aspects destination because of increased competition and a market changing. DMO stakeholders need an active role in defining fundamental strategy and management business networks but it takes an independent strategy collaborated toward a share goal, cooperation, and having synergy between all stakeholders who are in destinations.
 Conclusion: The whole legislation roles made in order to increase of public economic should be placed within the framework of the sustainable development goals insightful environment.

Commons Management in Migrant Communities

This article examines whether (and why) migrant communities are less likely to support institutions for managing common-pool resources. Focusing on Buvuma Island, which is situated in Uganda’s portion of Lake Victoria, a mixed-method research design is used to study efforts at locally supporting forestry regulations among randomly selected communities. These communities have varying proportions of immigrants and prospective out-migrants, and they are confronting the degradation of adjacent forest reserves. Evidence from survey data on 293 randomly selected heads of households suggests that migrant communities are less likely to support common pool resource institutions. The same evidence suggests that the lower likelihood of support among migrant communities has more to do with their weaker relationships (of reputation, reciprocity, and trust) than their expectations about the institutional net-benefits.

Influence of forest cutting down on runoff and nutrient removal from forest catchment of Karelia (according to mathematical modeling)

The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of forestry activities on the runoff and nutrient removal from the forest catchments of Karelia using mathematical modeling. The catchment area of the Big Velmuksa river in Karelia with an area of about 139 km2 has been chosen as a research object. It is a part of the catchment of the Vodla river - one of the largest tributaries of Lake Onega. Almost the entire catchment area of the Big Velmuksa river is forested (94%). The main direction of economic activity in the forest catchment areas in Karelia, including the Big Velmuksa catchment, is cutting down and growing new forest. In this study a simple model of runoff and nutrient removal from the forest catchment has been proposed. The purpose of this model is to describe the dynamics of the studied processes both during the natural development of the forest and in the process of reforestation after cutting down. It is shown that when forestry activities are carried out in accordance with forestry regulations rules, significant changes in runoff and nutrient removal are not recorded. The obtained result is explained by the fact that the volume of cutting down is approximately equal to the volume of growth, the level of variation in runoff and removal of chemicals depending insignificantly on human forestry activities. In addition, a simulation of the effects of hypothetical cutting down of 50 and 100% of the forest area on an experimental catchment has been carried out, allowing to assess the interval of possible extreme changes in runoff and nutrient removal. The results show the increase in runoff from the catchment to be 48 mm / year and the decrease in nutrient removal - 14.3 tN / year and 0.35 tP / year after 100% deforestation. Subsequent reforestation and the associated increase in nitrogen and phosphorus removal will continue for about 80 years

The taxation of subjects and objects of forestry enterprises in Ukraine: features, mechanisms and outlook

The research examines the peculiarities of the taxation of forestry enterprises in Ukraine. The current problem is determined by changes in tax legislation, which will negatively affect the activity of forestry enterprises, raise the prices of lumber, lower the quality of forestry indicators, lead to a decline of hunting sector, as well as an insufficiency of financial support for forestry development in general. The study analysis of the current tax legislation of Ukraine, which allowed issues of forestry taxation to be identified, in particular, with regard to a new approach to calculation and payment of a new land tax on forests (land tax). Such tax regulation of forestry can lead to a number of negative consequences for the economy as a whole. The research concludes with the suggestions to cancel this new tax collection on forestry land and to make appropriate amendments to the Tax Code of Ukraine.

POPULASI BEKANTAN (Nasalis larvatus) DI KAWASAN HUTAN MANGROVE SUNGAI SETINGGA ASIN DESA SEBUBUS KECAMATAN PALOH KABUPATEN SAMBAS

Bekantan or Proboscis Monkey (Nasalis larvatus) is a herbivorous primate that occupies riparian areas, mangrove forests and coastal forests in Kalimantan. This species is an endemic primate on Kalimantan Island which has been declared as one of the protected species by the Government of Indonesia based on the Minister of Environment and Forestry Regulation number P.106 of 2018 concerning protected plant and animal species. Bekantan's main habitat in the form of mangrove swamp forest areas has now been opened due to human activities so that habitats suitable for the life of the proboscis monkey are reduced. This research was conducted in the mangrove forest of Sebubus Village, Paloh Subdistrict, Sambas Regency for 2 weeks effectively in the field to observe and count the number of Bekantan. Starting from September 16, 2018 until completion. This study aims to record the estimated population of Bekantan (Nasalis larvatus) in the mangrove forest area of Sungai Setingga Asin Sebubus Village, Paloh District, Sambas Regency. The research method used is the river survey method. Bekantan population calculation is done by the King method. Based on observations with 6 replications morning and evening. The area of the study area of 14.91 ha showed that there were 35.8 individuals and 1 group of proboscis monkey with a population density of 1.2 individual probes / ha and a group density of 0.03 groups / ha of proboscis.Keyword : mangrove forest Sebubus, proboscis monkey, river survey
