“…Results of the survey data revealed that respondents' accepted minimum timber price increase averaged 18% from the current timber price for them to certainly have their forestland certified. Additionally, the calculated expected/average poplar timber price was around RMB660 (~USD 96.5)/m 3 based on the past 15 years' prices (2005-2020) (Figure 2); as a result, the accepted timber price increase for respondents to participate in forest certification was around RMB120 (~USD 7.6)/m 3 .…”

“…Achievement of sustainable forest management for environmental, social and economic benefits is the aim of China's modern (after 1990 s) forestry development as natural forests are being depleted because of overharvesting of timber over its history [1][2][3]. In China, example practices of sustainable forest management include restoration of degraded landscape and improvement of forest ecology and biodiversity through government initiatives and policies [3]. Forest certification as a market-based mechanism has been recognized in China in the 1990 s and the function in promoting forest management level has also been affirmed.…”

“…The major drivers for landowners in China to seek forest management certification are improving forest management and expanding market access. There is a time in China with widespread overharvesting and illegal logging which results in a depletion of forests and severe natural disasters (e.g., flooding) [1][2][3]; since then, Chinese officials realized the necessity and urgency of combating deforestation by improving forest management, and forest certification is a good mechanism to adopt. Another important driver for seeking forest management certification is market accessibility.…”

Achieving sustainable management of forests in China is becoming increasingly important with more awareness and realization of the importance of forests in environmental protection. Forest certification, a market-based instrument to promote sustainable forest management, has been recognized by many countries including China. While landowners’ perception and perspective regarding this voluntary program have been well-documented in the literature, how to motivate and incentivize landowners to participate in forest certification remained understudied questions. With the face-to-face survey of landowners in Shandong, China, this study analyzed landowners’ willingness to accept compensation for participating in forest certification. Results indicated that the average accepted compensation in terms of increased timber price was about RMB 120 (~USD 17.6)/m3 to have their forests enrolled in certification programs. Results from multiple regression showed that the level of such compensation required for participation in certification was influenced by forestland size, owner demographics, certification-program requirements, and importance placed on timber production. These findings would inform policy-makers in designing compensation-related policies and establish incentive-based mechanisms to motivate forest landowners to participate in forest certification programs in China.

Achieving sustainable management of forests in China is becoming increasingly important with more awareness and realization of the importance of forests in environmental protection. Forest certification, a market-based instrument to promote sustainable forest management, has been recognized by many countries including China. While landowners’ perception and perspective regarding this voluntary program have been well-documented in literature, how to motivate and incentivize landowners to participate in forest certification remained under-studied questions. With the face-to-face survey of landowners in Shandong, China, this study analyzed landowners’ willingness to accept compensation for participating in forest certification. Results indicated that landowners average accepted compensation, in terms of increased timber price, was about RMB120 (~$17.2)/m3 to have their forests certified. Results from multiple regression showed that the level of such compensation required for certification adoption was influenced by ownership size, owners’ demographics, certification program requirements, as well as importance placed on timber sale. These findings would inform policy-makers in designing compensation-related polices and establish incentive-based mechanisms to motivate landowners participate in forest certification programs in China.

“…At present, teleomorph Ceratobasidium spp. was divided into 16 different an astomosis group (AG) A -V by experts [10]. I although most parasitic in the roots of plants, but the pathogen city of the ginger and taro was significantly lower than pathogenic Rhizoctonia solani, and also to promote the absorption of N, P and K and other nutrients , especially for the absorption of P prime [4,11] for ginger tissue culture.…”

Rhizoctonia is a soil-borne fungal pathogen which widely exists in the soil. This study, by comparing the two isolates of the AG-V which are new an stemsons group (AG)(Bs-J-06-7-1 and DL-YT-06-4-9), we find P absorption differences as well as their hyphae in the system P absorption rate interacting with three plants, and clear its specificity with plant interactions. Screening for the effect of hypo toxicity binucleate Rhizoctonias on promoting P absorption of three plants, the result is that there were significant differences on contribution rate of P absorption of fungus when two hypotoxicity Rhizoctonias interacted with corns in 40days, and the comparative results would be Bs-J-06-7-1>DL-YT-06-4-9, that when two hypo toxicity Rhizoctonias interacted with tomatoes in 40days, and the comparative results would be DL-YT-06-4-9> Bs-J-06-7-1, but when two hypo toxicity Rhizoctonias interacted with rapes in 45 days, and the comparative results would be Bs-J-06-7-1>DL-YT-06-4-9. Through comparative analysis of quantity and contribution rate of P absorption of fungus in this study, we found that the interaction of two hypotoxicity binucleate Rhizoctonias with corn, tomato and rape had some positive effect. But effect on P absorption tomatoes is not very obvious.
