then, as the tree canopy closes, forages could be harvested for hay; finally, when the trees are fully grown and the ground is more shaded, grazing livestock or shade-tolerant crops like mushrooms or ornamental ferns could occupy the alleyways In most alley cropping systems, trees are planted in straight rows, sometimes with no regard for slope or contour There are, however, advantages to planting the trees in curves or on the contour These include the slowing of surface-water movement and the reduction of soil erosion The trees can be planted in single rows or in blocks of multiple rows between alleys The first row in a block is planted on the contour line; subsequent rows are planted below the original 85 86 line according to the slope of the land The final row of trees in one block is planted parallel to the contour line on which the next block of trees will begin The width of the tree blocks varies, but the cropping alleyways between them have parallel edges This design avoids creating point rows within the alleys, thus simplifying crop equipment maneuvers The width of the alleys is determined by the size of this equipment If planting on the contour is impractical, another option is to plant trees in curved zigzags so that water running downhill is captured or at least slowed Islands of trees can offer some of the same advantages if they don't interfere with cropping operations In large plantings, fast-growing hardwoods or pines are interplanted as trainers to ensure that the crop trees develop upright, unbranched trunks Alternatively, the crop trees can be planted close together in the rows, to be thinned and pruned several times as they grow Although these early-harvested trees may have little market value, their presence during the first years of growth has increased the main crop's value The goal is to produce long, straight sawnlogs with few lower branches, for maximum profit at final harvest Whatever the planting design, trees on the outside edge of a group will grow more side branches, or even a lopsided trunk, resulting in lower-value sawn-logs 86 87 12.2 Exercises 12.2.1 Vocabulary Farming system /'fɑ:miη 'sistəm/: Hệ thống nông trại Livestock /'laivstɔk/: Vật nuôi Stability /stə'biləti/: trạng thái ổn định Woodlot /'wudlɔt/: khu vực trồng Feed-stock /fi:d stɔk/ : Nguyên liệu cung cấp để chế biến Erosion /i'rouʒn/: xói mòn Shade-tolerant /∫eid 'tɔlərənt/: chịu bóng Alley cropping system /'æli 'krɔpiη 'sistəm/: hệ thống trồng theo băng Curve /kə:v/: đường cong Block /blɔk/: lô Contour /'kɔntuə/: đường đồng mức Parallel /'pærəlel/ song song Alleyways /'æliwei/ hàng băng Maneuvers /mə'nu:və/ thao tác Zigzags /'zigzæg/ hình zích zắc Interfere /,intə'fiə/ cản trở 12.2.2 Find out the word that means 87 88 organic optimal farm animals not viable make better on the other hand line earth or land generate 10 small 12.2.3 Find out as many words as possible that have relations with the following words Benefit Firewood Income Adaptation Combination Pruning Intercrop Surface Mulch 10 Adoption 12.2.4 Find out the appropriate word to fill the blank Agroforestry is a … system that integrates … and/or … with trees and shrubs A traditional tree farm managed as a … monocrop is not an agroforestry system An agroforestry system might produce …, biomass feedstocks, pinestraw mulch, fodder for … animals, and other traditional … products 88 89 Soybeans or corn could be … when the trees are very … When the trees are fully grown and the ground is more …, grazing livestock or … crops like mushrooms or ornamental ferns could … the alleyways In most alley … systems, trees are planted in … rows, sometimes with no regard for … or contour The width of the tree … varies, but the cropping alleyways between them have … edges If planting on the … is impractical, another option is to plant trees in … zigzags so that water running downhill is … or at least slowed In large plantings, fast-growing … or pines are interplanted as trainers to … that the crop trees develop …, unbranched trunks 10 Although these early-harvested trees may have … market value, their presence during the first years of growth has … the main crop's value 12.2.5 Comprehension True or false An agro-forestry system produces only timber or livestock The income of an Agroforestry system is lower than a monocrop system 89 90 The role of Agroforestry system is control of soil erosion only In an Agroforestry system, the trees plant only following the contour All crops can plant under the canopy of trees in an Agroforestry system 12.2.6 Questions 1.What is agroforestry; and what refered as not? Why would farmers adopt agroforestry practices? And what are the benefits from agroforestry farming? Which type of croping has been a popular model in the South East Asian context and how is it like? Why alleyways need to be wide enough when practising alley-cropping? Which type of woods are interplanted in large plantings, and which design is often applicable for this planting scale? 12.2.7 Summarise the text in English 90 91 Lesson 13: Sustainable forest management Sustainable forest management (SFM) aims to ensure that the goods and services derived from the forest meet present-day needs while at the same time securing their continued availability and contribution for future generations In its broadest sense, forest management encompasses the administrative, legal, technical, economic, social and environmental aspects of the conservation and use of forests It implies various degrees of deliberate human intervention, ranging from actions aimed at safeguarding and maintaining the forest ecosystem and its functions, to favouring specific socially or economically valuable species or groups of species for the improved production of goods and services (FAO definition) Around 150 countries have been involved in a total of nine ecoregional criteria and indicator processes for SFM About 89% of forests in industrialized countries are being managed according to a formal or informal management plan Preliminary results from developing countries show that of a total forest area of 2139 million ha, at least 123 million ha, or about 6%, is covered by a formal, nationally approved forest management plan covering a period of at least five years (FAO, 2001) 91 92 Nowadays, Forest Certification is an important way of establishing that forests are being managed in a sustainable manner and that the wood used by manufacturers of forest products comes from responsibly managed sources With today's growing emphasis on corporate responsibility and consumer demands for environmental and social accountability, forest certification strikes a balance between economic needs and conservation objectives However, caution is needed to ensure that certification and eco-labeling initiatives are not used as disguised barriers to restrict the access of developing countries to forest product markets Forest certification is a relatively new concept but has grown rapidly in the last few years The area of certified forests worldwide, as of the end of 2000, was estimated by FAO to be 2% of total forest area, or about 80 million While some important wood-producing countries in the tropics have forests certified under existing certification schemes or are in the process of developing new schemes, about 92% of certified forests are located in temperate, industrialised countries (see adjoining chart) In January 2002, the area of certified forests was estimated at 109 92 93 million ha, a little over half of the World Bank/WWF Alliance target of having 200 million of certified forests by 2005 Most certification systems were established in the 1990s and have doubled in size over the last ten years growing exponentially in the last two years This has resulted in numerous certification schemes, as illustrated in the lower right hand pie graph The link between forest certification and community-based forest management is also becoming increasingly important According to a recent review by Forest Trends; over 50 communities (though mainly in Central America) today have forest management certificates or chain of custody certification, and many other forest communities have been brought into the decision-making process in the certification of public and private forests as stakeholders 13.2 Exercises 13.2.1 Vocabulary Aim /eim/ mục tiêu Aspect /'æspekt/ khía cạnh Conservation /,kɔnsə:'vei∫n/ bảo tồn Deliberate /di'libərit/ có cân nhắc 93 94 Intervention /,intə'ven∫n/ can thiệp Involve /in'vɔlvd/ thu hút tâm trí Accountability /ə,kauntə'biliti/ giải trình Strike /straik/ đựa vào Initiative /i'ni∫ətiv/ ch ủ động Scheme /ski:m/ xếp theo hệ thống Pie graph /pai græf/ biểu đồ hình bánh Custody /'kʌstədi/ giám hộ 13.2.2 Find out the word that means preservation hidden cautious inhibit important or worthy right of entry global guardianship stress 10 group of people 13.2.3 Find out as many words as possible that have relations with the following words Certification Indicator Stakeholder Regulation Regeneration 10 Cooperation Criteria Partner Community Decision 94 95 13.2.4 Find out the appropriate word to fill the blank Sustainable forest management (SFM) aims to ensure that the … and services derived from the forest meet present-day needs while at the same time securing their continued … and contribution for future generations About 89% of forests in … countries are being managed according to a formal or informal management plan Forest Certification is an important way of … that forests are being managed in a sustainable manner and that the wood used by … of forest products comes from … managed sources With today's growing emphasis on … responsibility and … demands for environmental and social accountability, forest certification … a balance between economic … and conservation … Forest certification is a relatively … concept but has grown … in the last few years The area of … forests worldwide, as of the end of 2000, was estimated by FAO to be 2% of total forest area, or about 80 million As the data covered in the chart, about 92% of certified forests are located in …, industrialized countries In January 2002, the area of certified forests was … at 109 million 95 96 The link between forest … and community-based forest management is also becoming increasingly important Over 50 … , mainly in Central America, today have forest management certificates or chain of … certification, according to recent … by Forest Trends 10 Many forest communities have been brought into the … process in the certification of public and private forests as … 13.2.5 Questions What is the acronym for SFM and what does SFM aim for?
