The Policy Issues in Lin'an Modei Forest of China

Based on the analysis on policy such as property rights, tax and administration fee, harvesting and circulation of forest products in Lin 'an Modei Forest, some policy issues in the development of Lin 'an Model Forest towards sustainable forest management were raised: (1) The level of timber tax and fee is quite high and there are many kinds of taxes and fees such as fees for forest silviculture, forestry maintenance, forest protection, city construction, town-service, additional fee for education and others, value-added tax, taxfor special products of agriculture andforestry. (2) Coefficient of input and output for Bamboo shoot is 23.8 times than that for timber. (3) Some comments on the policy were changed in the development of modei forest such as compensation on the ecological benefit offorest, adjustment of tax and fees-collection policy for forest products, systematic management on transferring the right of land use, and integrated policy for production, processing and marketing of forest products     

New Positioning of Forest in Green Development

The role and position of forestry in response to the issue of climate change have been increasingly concerned by more and more countries and the international community.The cost incurred in forest carbon sequestration is lower than other options to mitigate climate change.However,the fund’s gap becomes the main barrier to reducing carbon emissions caused by deforestation and forest degradation(REDD) and enhancing carbon storage in forests(REDD +) and also becomes the concerns of governments,academic community and enterprises.Based on the comparative analysis of overseas forest carbon financing models,the paper pinpointed their development trend and proposed solutions to financing for forest carbon sink in China.     

Legal Issues of Rights to Manage Understory Land

Management of the understory land is an economic form to develop cultivation and breeding in making use of the forest ecological environment.It is also an important means to increase the income of forest farmers in the forestry regions after the reform of forestry real rights.This paper investigated the management status of understory land,and analyzed the impacts and destruction of its improper management upon the forest ecology environment.The management right of the understory land is a restricted right of property,because the management is related to the ecology protection of forest and woodland.In addition to private property rights,it should also comply with the arrangement of national forest management.Therefore,while encouraging and developing the understory land management,it’s important to establish a legal system for executing the management rights,and the management of the understory land should be included in the scope of the forestry management.
