[1] Ths. Trường Đại học Lâm nghiệp. Email: binhda@yahoo.com; [2] TS. Viện KHKT nông lâm nghiệp miền núi phía Bắc (NOMAFSI)
Summary: Estimating carbon stock in agriculture and forestry is necessary in Vietnam when government is legalizing “Carbon stock and Tranding CO2”. Agroforestry is good for environment, especially carbon stock. However, it is not considered in program of government. Thus, this study undertakes to estimate carbon stock of three agroforestry types, including Litchi + Eucalyptus; Litchi + Acacia; and Litchi – Pine in the buffer zone of Tam Dao National Park. The study uses the Rapid Apraisal Carbon Stock for Agroforestry (RACSA) of ICRAF to undertake, and results are: Litchi + Eucalyptus up take 202.3 ton CO2/ha/rotation (15 years); Litchi + Acacia up take 257.3 ton CO2/ha/rotation; and Litchi – Pine up take 232.1 ton CO2/ha/rotation. The minimum carbon trading value that these agroforestry types gained per 15 years are: Litchi + Eucalyptus (1,011.6 USD/ha); Litchi + Acacia 1,286.5 USD/ha); and Litchi – Pine (1,160.4 USD/ha). If households are paid carbon trading value above the protecting function of the buffer zone of Tam Dao National Park will be more sustainable. Key words: Agroforestry type, carbon stock.

Research objectives: The research aims to obtain the specific objectives as follows: i) Construct modeling of biomass estimation and CO2 sequestration of Litsea plutinosa species in the agroforestry model of Litsea – Cassava. ii) Define amount of absorbed CO2 and its environmental values in the agroforestry model of Litsea – Cassava.
Model of sustainable cassava cultivation: Intercropping peanut with cassava on impoverished grey soil in the winter – spring crop 2008-2009 at Cat Hiep and Cat Lam communes, Phu Cat district, Binh Dinh province
Author: Dr. Nguyen Thanh Phuong, and Nguyen Quoc Hai et al.; ASISOV
Summary: In the model for intercropping peanut with cassava in the winter-spring crop, the average yield of peanut is over 3 tons/ha, higher than outer peanut production of 29.5% at Cat Hiep and 14% at Cat Lam commune. For 9 months, yield of cassava in the model (from December, 2008 – the Winter – Spring crop) at 2 communes obtains high yield of 39.60 ton/ ha (at Cat Hiep commune) and 30.28 ton/ ha (at Cat Lam commune) while yield of cassava for 6 months (from April,2009) gives 17.76 tons/ha (at Cat Hiep commune) and 16.06 tons/ha (at Cat Lam commune). Yield of monocropped cassava outside the project at Cat Hiep commune only obtains 53.0% compared to the model after 9 months of cultivation. At Cat Lam commune, yield of cassava cultivated with double plant stem surpassing yield of one plant stem of 1.5 times. After 9 months of cultivation, the percentage of cassava starch obtains 22.7 – 23.4%, much higher than the one of 14.2 – 15.2 % for 6 months. Net interest, the percentage of profits of models for intercropping peanut with cassava in the winter-spring crop is the highest, next to peanut in the winter-spring crop – cassava in the summer – autumn crop and monocropped peanut in the winter-spring crop at 2 project communes. Net interest in the model for double cassava stem higher than the one of one cassava stem is from 5,471,000 dong/ ha, increasing 1.25 times. The practices of intercropping peanut with cassava and double cassava stem give the high result. The advanced techniques should be recommended and applied in the fairly good soil and high intensive practices.

Key stakeholders involvement in protected forest area management in Vietnam - Status and Trend (Supported by the Project on Forestry Policy Analysis of SEANAFE)
Author: Dr. Cao Thi Ly, Nguyen Quoc Binh and Nguyen Thi Thuy Phuong from VNAFE Summary: In most protected areas (PAs) in Viet Nam, conservation management lacks cooperation and participation by stakeholders, especially local communities who live in and around them. This is a major constraint and partly responsible for the ongoing degradation of biodiversity in PAs and negative impacts on the livelihoods of local people. In the context it can be asked, “How do we effectively involve key stakeholders, especially local communities in protected forest area management in Viet Nam?” This policy report presents some latest research results and in particular, we concentrate on the following main issues:
Although efforts are being made, PA management in Viet Nam is not effective as biodiversity continues to be degraded and local people suffer
The current conservation management approach not only impacts negatively on the livelihoods of people living in and around PAs but also hinders stakeholder involvement, especially for local peopl
Based on these issues and effective approaches for participation and community-based management found in the literature, this research has found key elements for effective participatory PA management in Viet Nam: (1) Change the top – down approach. (2) Better to involve key stakeholders by benefit sharing. (3) Better enforcement of low of protected area, and (4) had better control NWFPs collection by local people. Policy Brief & Policy Report

Study on building up a Sa nhan tim (Amomum longiligulare) model at Son Hoa district, Phu Yen province. Author: Dr. Nguyen Thanh Phuong, Eng. Tran Minh Chau ASISOV A. longiligulare is grown in the 3 year old acacia auriculiformis forest (0,3-0,4 shade) and secondary natural forest shade (0,5-0,6 shade) developing well. After 8 months, Its fruits are formed and the first year dry productivity is 13,2 kg/ha (in acacia forest shade) and 5,0 kg/ha (in natural forest shade). The second year dry productivity is 45,1 kg/ha (in acacia shade) and 14,6 kg/ha (in natural shade). A. longiligulare plant grown in commercial coffee and home garden shade develops very well, forming flower and havesting fruit after 30 months. A. longiligulare in the highland Van Hoa, Son Hoa, Phu Yen is harvested 2 crops/year: summer-winter crop (May - August) and autumn-winter crop (September - December). After 2 years of growing, it has reached return 4.664.000 dong/ha (in acacia shade) and 1.712.000 dong/ha (in natural forest shade). The next years, the income will increase 2,25-3,96 times (in acacia shade) and 4,73-8,46 times (in natural forest shade) than the second beginning years. Full summary download
