| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 森林環境暨資源學研究所 === 101 === According to decision 2/CMP.6 in Cancun Agreement, each Annex I Party should submit their forest management reference level to the secretariat of United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. The reference level will be used as baseline of emissions and removals from forest management, which means the removals exceeding reference level can be regarded as carbon sink. There are six elements should be considered in the construction of reference level, which are used to reveal the circumstance of forest management and ensure the accuracy and transparency. The report of reference level are constructed in five parts, in order to describe the methods and the process of accounting and factors affect conditions of forest management in the future. After discussing different methodology used by Parties, this report construct Taiwan’s forest management reference level in 2012 to 2020 by using data from Forestry Statistics Yearbook. We suppose there are two circumstances, when assuming forest increment as 0.17 m3/ha/yr, the result of emissions from forest land will be -116 Kt CO2 per year, and -4,899 Kt CO2 since the forest increment is 5.70 m3/ha/yr. Besides forest land, harvested wood products is another carbon pool considered in reference level, and the result of accounting in Taiwan is -7 Kt CO2. Combining the accounting result of two assumption, Taiwan’s forest management reference level are -123 and -4,906 Kt CO2.
