Good morning!In recent times, people’s interest in the restoration of forest fire damaged areas has been getting higher because forest fires have drawn attention as a social issue. Thus, the National Institute of Forest Science has announced future research plans and findings in regard to the past 27 years of the restoration of forest damage to let people understand it.The NIFoS have established a long-term research site in Samcheok to monitor changes in forest fire damage by developing restoration technology and to reveal a restoration process of an ecosystem in the area.Now, NIFoS will let you know the major results of monitoring forest fire restoration sites over the past 27 years. First, species planted in the forest fire damaged area show initial survival rates. This is an important measure to determine the success or failure of the restoration of afforested land. In accordance with a survey of pine trees, oyster oak, oak trees, ma...

Program 7. Promote the use of wood-based on the optimized processing technologyThis program intends to increase and nurture the utilization of domestic woods and its industry following cutting-edge technologies in the BT, NT, IT convergence, advancement of the respective process by building net-neutrality society and promoting strategic researches in the wood industry□ Major outcomes7-1 Expansion of the demand for wood to revitalize the wood industry ·Research data sheets containing standardized metadata and DMP (Data Management Plan) were designed for sharing and recycling research data. The wood properties of 45 items in 10 fields were evaluated for major domestic wood species (20 species over 5 years), and the DB was established. ·The LCI DB reflecting the process characteristics of the fiberboard and Particle Board is established and registered as national approval statistics. A revision to all 15 wooden products' notices was prepared, and 284 (3 years...

Program 6. Forestry income increase and utilizing industrialization by using forest bioresourcesThe National Institute of Forest Sciences establishes the bases for collection, evaluation, and conservation of resources, securing original technology for medicinal and daily life materials, developing technologies for cultivation and management of resources. This allows us to build an industrial materialization platform for forest bioresources, discovering its functionality and creating a new variety of resources, cultivating, distributing and processing a post-harvest.□ Major outcomes6-1 Research on the establishment for application of bio-information ·Transformation-based genome editing technology for forest trees was developed in the agenda 'Research on the bioinformatical application for forest bioresources' through the subproject 'Establishment of CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing in forest trees', and the hybrid poplars reduced lignin content were generated...
