永續森林經營發生的二三事...PEFC 森林經營準則的實務整備(C 8.3 & I 8.3.3)。From the Concepts of Sustainable Forest Management to Reality: Practical Steps for PEFC Forest Management Criteria(C 8.3 & I 8.3.3).

PEFC（Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification，森林驗證認可計畫）與FSC (Forest Stewardship Council，森林經營委員會)，同為全球兩大森林驗證系統。全球林業經營者，在追求森林的永續經營上，所採用的經營標準內容，有否差異呢?我們將瞭解PEFC的驗證框架之原則與準則內容，及如何準備PEFC驗證的要求，其他內容請參考https://sustainableforest.blogspot.com/。

8. Operation運營

8.3 Maintenance and encouragement of productive functions of forests (wood and non-wood).

8.3維護和促進森林的生產功能（木材和非木材）

8.3.3 Management, harvesting and regeneration operations shall be carried out at a time, and in a way, that does not reduce the productive capacity of the site, for example by avoiding damage to soil and retained stands and trees.

8.3.3 管理、採伐和更新操作應在不降低場地生產能力的時間和方式進行，例如避免對土壤和保留樹木及林分造成損害。

可能資料的整備：

        森林經營、採伐和再生等作業應同時規劃並執行，以確保森林資源的永續利用。所有作業都應以不損害森林生產力的方式進行，例如土壤肥力下降、樹木生長緩慢等，確保森林能夠持續提供產品和服務。

因此組織應準備以下資料：

1.        森林經營計畫內，規劃各項作業的時序、方式和強度。

2.        提供土壤監測數據，以證明作業對土壤的影響。

3.        說明如何保護留存木，避免在作業過程中受到損害。

4.        提供復舊造林更新措施，確保森林能夠快速恢復。

PEFC and FSC are the two biggest names in forest certification. So, what's the difference between these two systems? Are they asking forest managers to do completely different things to get certified? Let's dive into PEFC and see what it takes to get certified.

8. Operation

8.3 Maintenance and encouragement of productive functions of forests (wood and non-wood).

8.3.3 Management, harvesting and regeneration operations shall be carried out at a time, and in a way, that does not reduce the productive capacity of the site, for example by avoiding damage to soil and retained stands and trees.

Preparation of possible information:

        Forest management, harvesting and regeneration should be planned and executed simultaneously to ensure the sustainable use of forest resources. All operations should be carried out in a manner that does not compromise forest productivity, such as declining soil fertility and slow tree growth, to ensure that forests can continue to provide goods and services.

Therefore, the organization should prepare the following information:

1.        Within the forest management plan, plan the timing, mode and intensity of each operation.

2.        Provide soil monitoring data to demonstrate the impact of operations on the soil.

3.        Explain how to protect the remaining timber from damage during the operation.

4.        Provide reforestation and regeneration measures to ensure that forests can recover quickly.
