“…However, the power plant and the coal mine are considered to be the major source of atmospheric pollution [79]. The pollution caused public health problems as the combustion of lignite coal emits pollutants into the atmosphere such as SO 2 , CO, and NO 2 [80].…”

While the district of Mae Moh, Thailand has been well known for its atmospheric pollution associated with coal power production, economic assessment of demand for improved air quality has not been conducted to date. This study estimated local residents’ individual and aggregate willingness to pay (WTP) for mitigation of atmospheric pollution in Mae Moh using the contingent valuation method (CVM), and analyzed the factors associated with the individual WTP using the bivariate tobit and double-hurdle regression techniques. Primary data were collected through face-to-face interviews with a stratified sample of 200 residents. The hypothetical scenarios used in the CVM module were 50% and 80% mitigation of atmospheric concentrations of major pollutants. The weighted average WTP was found to be THB 251.3 and 307.9 per annum (USD 8.4 and 10.3) for the 50% and 80% reduction scenarios, respectively. The aggregate WTP for the entire population of Mae Moh was THB 10,008,733 and 12,264,761 per annum (USD 336,294 and 412,096), respectively. Education, occupation type, income, expenses, satisfaction with ambient quality, and perceived sources of pollution had significant associations with the individual WTP. The paper concludes by discussing policy implications for atmospheric pollution management and avenues for future research.

“…It has been reported that pine trees, found in various parts of Thailand, respond to climate variability in terms of rainfall in May during the beginning of the rainy season and to variations in temperature during the transition from dry to wet season in April to May (Pumijumnong and Wanyaphet 2006;Pumijumnong and Eckstein 2011). Other previous studies have reported on the effect of climate changes on the growth ring width in teak and pine (Buckley et al 2007;Pumijumnong 2012;Duangsathaporn and Palakit 2013;Palakit et al 2015bPalakit et al , 2019Buajan et al 2016;Muangsong et al 2016Muangsong et al , 2018Sangram et al 2016;Auykim et al 2017;Duangsathaporn 2017a, 2017b;Preechamart et al 2018;Khantawan et al 2019;Buareal et al 2020;Lumyai et al 2020;Pumijumnong and Palakit 2020;Rakthai et al 2020).…”

Abstract. Naumthong M, Palakit K, Duangsathaporn K, Prasomsin P, Lumyai P. 2021. Climate effects on the growth of Pinus latteri and Pinus kesiya at the Intakin Silvicultural Research Station, Chiang Mai Province, Thailand. Biodiversitas 22: 2512-2519. Relationship between the growth of two pine species, Pinus latteri and Pinus kesiya, and past climatic factors are studied. Standard dendrochronological techniques were used on 40 core samples obtained from 20 trees from each species to cross-date tree-ring width and determine the growth patterns of each species. Over a period spanning from 1980-2019 (P. latteri) and 1984-2019 (P. kesiya), the calculated mean ring-width values were 0.596 and 0.430 cm per year, respectively. An analysis of the relationship between tree-ring width of P. latteri and climatic data indicated a positive correlation with the relative humidity in April. However, a negative correlation was observed with the temperature in April and August. The factors limiting the growth of P. latteri the most were the temperature in August (r2=0.228; P<0.01). The index constructed for P. kesiya indicated a positive correlation with extreme minimum relative humidity in December and extreme maximum temperature in March. The factors limiting the growth of P. kesiya with a significant correlation, were the relative humidity in April (r2=0.173) and temperature in May (r2=0.184). These results can be used to plan the management of forest plantations and to select suitable areas for the cultivation of pine trees in Thailand
