PART I<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS, ADVANTAGES AND DIFFICULTIES<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

General charateristics<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

2010 was the year to complete the 5 year plan for the period of 2006-2010. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Forest Science Institute of Vietnam (FSIV) has developed a Project to re-construct and improve the institute into the Academy. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) has agreed with the Project, and submitted the Project to the Prime Minster for approval. <\/span><\/p>\n

2010 was the sixth year that FSIV had attended to tender for establishment and implementation for scientific and technological projects, and won 20 projects, the largest number of projects won in one year so far.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

FSIV has 1 Director General, 4 Deputy Director Generals, 3 functional divisions, 6 research divisions, 14 research and technology transfer centers and 1 sub-institute. FSIV has 588 staff of which 454 are permanent staff and 124 are contracted staff. FSIV has 5 associate professors, 1 doctor of science, 22 doctors of philosophy, 124 masters, 270 engineers\/bachelors of science and 166 technicians and workers.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Advantages<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

FSIV received effective advice and direction from leaders and departments of MARD and other relevant agencies. <\/span>FSIV staff is composed of highly qualified and experienced scientists who take a very enthusiastic and proactive approach to their research. FSIV has been assigned a large number of projects and programs for implementation, monitoring and evaluation.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Difficulties<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Negative climate change created difficulty for the establishment of field experiments. Research activities of FSIV have been implemented across the country, but the number of staff working in functional divisions was reduced. This reduction of functional staff has caused difficulty in monitoring and evaluation of results in some research projects. <\/span><\/p>\n

Tasks were not equally assigned among research fields and units. This had some negative impacts on the management and activities of FSIV and its units.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The prices of labor and inputs increased, but the project budgets were kept unchanged.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

PART II. <\/span><\/strong>ASKS IN 2010<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

In 2010, FSIV implemented the following tasks: 115 scientific, technological and environmental tasks with a value of more than 35 billion VND; 5 forest extension contracts with a combined value of 2.07 billion VND; 3 forest tree breeding projects with a combined value of 8.5 billion VND; 5 equipment and tool strengthening projects with a combined value of 13.05 billion VND, 7 small size construction and preparation projects with a combined value of 1.17 billion VND, 5 basic construction projects with the value of 20.77 billion VND, 19 international projects\/contracts with a combined value of 9.05 billion VND, post-graduate training with a value of 107 million VND, and over 135 contracts of science, services and commercial production with a combined value of 46.39 billlion VND.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The total budget of FSIV in 2010 was 154,557,000,000 VND, equal to the previous year.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

PART III. ACHIEVEMENT<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

3.1. Results from the implementation of scientific, technological and environmental tasks<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The main achievments of the year 2010 are as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n

3.1.1. Silviculture field<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

a. <\/span><\/em>Forest tree breeding <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

MARD approved 21 new tree varieties that have high yield of timber. Several varieties of Hybrid Acacia<\/em>, A. auriculiformis<\/em>, A. mangium<\/em> and E.camaldulensis<\/em> could resist diease and pests, and some varieties of Macadamia have a<\/span> high fruit yield.<\/span><\/p>\n

Apart from approved varieties, FSIV has created potential varieties, such as selected 19 Maleleuca varieties, that have high yield of cineole oil which could be exported.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Remaining tasks include developing nearly 1000ha of seed stand, seed orchard, parent trees, and trial areas for tree breeding improvement. These include species of Pinus, Acacia, Eucalyptus, native species for enrichment such as (Gi\u1ed5i xanh (Michelia mediocoris<\/em>), Re (Cinamomum <\/em>sp), Tr\u00e1m tr\u1eafng (Canarium album<\/em>), Lim xanh (Erythrophleum fordii<\/em>), species for planting on sand and coastal areas such as \u0110\u01b0\u1edbc (Rhizophora apiculata<\/em>), V\u1eb9t t\u00e1ch (Bruguiera parviflora<\/em>), Tr\u00e0m ta (Melaleuca cajuputi<\/em>), Tr\u00e0m l\u00e1 d\u00e0i (Melaleuca leucadendra<\/em>), drought-resistant Xoan (Melia <\/em><\/span>azedarach<\/span><\/em>)<\/span>, Phi lao\u00a0 <\/span>(<\/span>Casuarina equisetifolia<\/span><\/em> J.R et G.

FSIV developed a method to create seedlings of Thong Nhua (P. Merkusii)<\/em> by tissue culture using mature embryos and suitable conditions. We determined the concentration of bacterium, kanamycin, timentin, time to cultivate, create physical wound, and create material for genetic exchange by bacteria.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

FSIV determined 33 indicators of SSR and evaluated the relationship between molecular indicators and growth phenotypes of brown Eucalyptus;. We developed library of cDNA, data base of EST, seperated 2 genes related to compose lignin CCR and CAD2, and determined 25 order of 2 genes above. We chose 6 kinds of Arbuscular mycorrhiza <\/em>for forest trees and; created 4 types of enviroments.<\/span><\/p>\n

Regarding C\u1ecdc r\u00e0o (<\/span>Jatropha curcas<\/span><\/em> L) <\/span>\u00a0<\/span>species, we selected 4 potential provenances for planting, achieving more than 1.5 tons of seed per ha\/year after 2 years of planting, selected 85 plus trees from planted models in Ninh Thu\u1eadn that have seed yield of\u00a0 <\/span>2.0-3.2kg\/tree\/year.

We integrated forest tree improvement and intensive planting techniques for species of keo (Acacia), b\u1ea1ch \u0111\u00e0n (Eucalyptus), th\u00f4ng (Pinus), with the ultimate goal of yielding paper material, woodchips, and sawlogs at a rate of 20-40m3<\/sup>\/ha\/year.<\/span><\/span>c. Silvicultural methodology for natural forest.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

We established 69 permanent plots of 4 forest types and collected data in these plots: Salt-swamp tropical evergreen broad-leaved forest;, tropical evergreen broad-leaved forest, tropical semi-deciduous broad-leaved forest (Kh\u1ed9p forest), and alum-swamp tropical rain evergreen broad-leaved forest;. We made use of supplemental information, such as data and scientific evidence of population growth of forest types and individual growth of some dominant species;. We also supplemented structural characteristics and regeneration dynamics, as well as the succession of 4 forest types to be a basis for recommendation of management and trade methodology for natural forests in Vietnam.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

d. Ecology and forest environment<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

We developed criteria for classification of hazardous sites of mangrove forest in coastal provinces in the North. 5 species of mangrove forest were selected to create seedlings in nurseries and to plant in sand, stone, and coral pieces under irregular tides in islands of the South. We determined 3 native species suitable for preventing erosion of rivers and channels. We determined forest characteristics and factors to create mangrove forest growing on sand and stone and coral pieces in Con Dao National Park and recommended 6 species and techniques to produce seedlings of \u0110ung (Rhizophora mucronata<\/em>), \u0110\u00e2ng (Rhizophora stylosa<\/em>), \u0110\u01b0\u1edbc \u0111\u00f4i (Rhizophora apiculata<\/em>), \u0110\u01b0\u1edbc lai (Rhizophora hybrid<\/em>), D\u00e0 v\u00f4i (Ceriops tagal<\/em>) and S\u00fa \u0111\u1ecf.<\/span><\/p>\n

We evaluated the status of management, direct value of use, store value, and carbon sequestration of protection forests to protect them from tides in Ca Mau and Kien Giang. <\/span><\/p>\n

We analysed data inputs of emission records following IPCC principles, and; collected and analysed data inputs to create a methodological basis to assess green gas in forestry.<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, we established guidelines to evaluate the environmental impacts of forest planting projects. <\/span><\/p>\n

e. Microorganism and forest protection and management <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

243 Cordyceps <\/em>samples were collected in Vietnam and; 26 species were identified, of which 24 were the first such species recorded in Vietnam. Initially, Cordycep millitaris<\/em> was successfully cultured on artificial media. Isaria tenuipes<\/em> was first recorded in Vietnam. This species contains chemicals effective in fighting cancer and leukemia cells and has been mass cultivated in Korea and China for a long time.<\/span><\/p>\n

We conducted research on producing bio-fertilizer inocula in tablet forms, namely MF1 containing symbiotic fungi,\u00a0 <\/span>phosphate dissolving micro-organism (PDM) and antifungal bacteria against to Cylindrocladium quinqueseptatum <\/em>and Cryptosporiopsis eucalypti<\/em> causing leaf-spot diseases and MF2 containing symbiotic fungi, PDM and antifungal bacterium against Fusarium oxysprorium <\/em>causing damping-off diseases. MF 1 applied to eucalypt plantations in Bac Giang and Binh Dinh provinces increased growth by 13-65% and reduced disease incidence by 70-89%, and MF2 applied to pine plantations in Ha Tinh province increased growth by 12-72% and reduced disease incidence by 64-89%. <\/span><\/p>\n

22 pathogens causing eucalypt and acacia diseases were identified. 186 eucalyptus and acacia plus trees were selected for propagation, some Eucalyptus camaldulensis<\/em> and Acacia auriculiformis<\/em> clones were selected as technical varieties for large scale planting from clone trials. 36 Pinus merkusii <\/em>plus trees were selected for propagation and screening for resistance to Dendrolimus punctatus.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Blake)<\/span>, Th\u00f4ng m\u00e3 v\u0129<\/span> (Pinus massoniana<\/em> Lamb)<\/span>, Th\u00f4ng nh\u1ef1a<\/span> (Pinus merkusii<\/em> jungh et de Vries)<\/span>. <\/span>Based on the results achieved, we determined the method to validate forests according to both economic and environmental values. These contributed to the Decision No <\/span>380\/Q\u0110-TTg <\/span>dated<\/span> 10\/4\/2008<\/span> promulgated by Prime Minister, and Decree<\/span> 99\/2010\/N\u0110-CP <\/span>dated <\/span>24\/9\/2010 <\/span>regarding Forest environment payment services. <\/span><\/p>\n

We assessed the status of forest planting of some main species to produce forest products,<\/span>,<\/span> evaluated markets to export wood furniture and import raw materials,<\/span>,<\/span> assessed economic and environmental efficiency of <\/span>12<\/span> main forest species to provide saw logs,<\/span>, <\/span>evaluated the impact of existing policy on production plantation forestc<\/span>,<\/span> and recommended policy oriented to develop plantation forest for saw logs. <\/span><\/p>\n

We also assessed the status of policy. Recommended solutions to problems include improving competence capacity of small and middle enterprises in production and consumption of tea and wood furniture in the context of open trade<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

3.2. International cooperation\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

In 2010 we collaborated in research, development and training with ACIAR, CARD, Tropenbos, AKECOP, CIFOR, JICA, JOBCA, SNV, WB, FAO and APFNET. <\/span><\/p>\n

The main issues covered include: Optimal silviculture management of plantation forests,, management and control of forest pests and dieases,, selection and development of tropical Acacia hybrid,, using diverse genes and biotechnology in forest tree breeding improvement, validating forest plantation and mangrove forest,, land uses to mitigate deforestation and degraded forest,, integrated land uses in tropical rainforest area to decrease carbon concentration,, causes and impacts of forest degradation, criteria for classifying forest ecological zones, impacts and mitigation strategies for climate change, and demonstrating the forest rehabilitation in Vietnam. The international tasks have been well implemented and achieved great results, and have satified donor requirements. Particularly, the Action Plan for the Forestry Research strategy has been witten, and now waiting for approval from MARD. <\/span><\/p>\n

We received more than 50 international experts\/delegations, and organized 3 English classes as well as quite a number of scientific lectures, workshops and meetings. <\/span>Currently, the institution has 12 PhD candidates studying in England, Holland, China, Australia, and Japan. It also has 3 master\u2019s students studying in the United States, South Korea, and Australia. <\/span><\/p>\n

3.3. Techniques services and commercial trade<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

We actively sought out contracts for scientific research, techniques services, and trade with other institutions and companies, increased the budget of 46.387 billion VND.<\/span><\/p>\n

3.4. PhD training<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

In 2010, FSIV assessed 11 candidates for PhD training, and all candidates passed the review-test and were approved by MARD. FSIV has decided on 11 PhD candidates for the course 23\/2010. <\/span><\/p>\n

6 PhD candidates completed their research subjects, 3 PhD candidates sussessfully defended their research in basis comittees, 5 PhD candidates successfully defended their research in national\/institutional comittees. In addition, 6 PhD candidates are preparing for defences in basis committees, and 1 PhD candidate is waiting for reviewers and preparing for a defence in the institutional committee. <\/span><\/p>\n

18 staff of FSIV taught at other training institutions. The staff of FSIV successfully supervised 10 bachelors, 50 master students and 19 PhD candidates. Staff of FSIV also gave professional lectures for undergraduate students and postgraduate students in the Forestry University of Vietnam, Thai Nguyen Forestry Agriculture Univeristy, and Tay Nguyen University. FSIV staff also organized many short traing courses for researchers, workers, farmers in different fields.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

3.5.\u00a0 <\/span>Data and information\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

FSIV published 5 volumes of journal of forest science.<\/span><\/p>\n

FSIV published 5 books, 67 scientific articles in domestic jounals, 10 articles in international journals, 1 paper in an international conference, and 58 papers in domestic conferences. We also puplished a book “Proceedings of conference on forest science and technology with sustainable development and climate change,\u201d and published the book “Techniques to plant several timber tree species.\u201d In addtion, we published a leaflet to introduce FSIV. <\/span><\/p>\n

3.6. General evaluation <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

3.6.1 Main achievements<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

In 2010, FSIV achieved the following results:<\/span><\/p>\n

A project was developed to re-construct and impvore the institute into the Academy Institution. This project was approved by MARD, and is now waiting for approval from the Prime Minister.<\/span><\/p>\n

115 science, technology and enviromental tasks were approved, with a combined budget of more than 35 billion VND. MARD approved 21 forestry tree varieties and 4 technical advance forest product preservation chemicals. Particularly, we published a book entitled “Guide to Planting 41 Popular Timber Tree Species”.<\/span><\/p>\n

More than 135 contracts were implemented, on techniques transfer and trade with the budget of 46.387 billion VND.<\/span><\/p>\n

We completed the construction of 3 Laboratories to promote research and production. <\/span>In summary, FSIV is proud of our results in 2010. They serve as\u00a0 <\/span>a basis for a similar performance in the following period of 2011-2015, particularly to be a good basis for the implementation of the Decree 115 and re-structuring of the institution.<\/span><\/p>\n

3.6.2. Weaknesses<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Because the areas for carrying out activities were very large and the activites were various, the monitoring and evalutation of project implementaion was still limited. <\/span><\/p>\n

The management within some units under FSIV was not so good, and again the monitoring and evalutation activities were not well implemented. <\/span><\/p>\n

The number of science and technology tasks was large, but they did not equally distribute into every forest field, and there was a lack of research results that transferred into production. <\/span><\/p>\n

PART IV: MOVING FORWARD TO IMPLEMENT TASKS IN 2011<\/span><\/h4>\n

Management of FSIV<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

In 2011, we should increase the management effectiveness of the instituion, and strengthen the management of the functional division, research divisions, centers and sub-institutes. <\/span>We would also like to strengthen the collaboration between research divisions, centers and regional centers, increase implementation of introduced principles and regulations, revise and supplement principles and regulations if they are no longer suitable. <\/span><\/p>\n

Personal organization <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

We plan to complete the project to re-construct and improve FSIV following comments from MARD and the Prime Minister, and develop the plan to re-constuct the units under FSIV.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>In addition, we will implement personnel planning and the regime following the current principles, as well asprepare for and commemorate the 50th <\/sup>anniversary of the eastablishment of FSIV.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Plan of science and technology projects<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

We plan to: Develop new project proposals for funding and continue implementing the current projects in 2011;continue organizing scientific workshops, mid-term and final workshops for projects; organize the consultation workshop to comment on projects for 2011. <\/span>We also aim to strengthen the consultation, monitoring and evaluation from FSIV, centers and research divisions to the activities process and results of projects,as well asincrease the quality of project implementation.<\/span><\/p>\n

International cooperation <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

We plan to introduce the principle to manage and implement international tasks.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span>We would also like to strengthen our cooperation with international instituions and partner in research and development, and technology transfer, combine international collaboration with training of profession and language. <\/span><\/p>\n

Staff training<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In 2011, we aim to strengthen the collaboration between FSIV and other research, education and traning institutions.<\/span>. <\/span>\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>We would also like to develop the training of research staff, particularly for post-graduate training for research divisions, as well as strengthen monitoring and promote PhD candidates to implement projects and theses following the approved schedules, and improve the quality of theses. <\/span><\/p>\n

Data and information\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We plan to strengthen the dissemination of FSIV, its activities and achievements. This will be accomplished through the following: <\/span>\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Improve the website with updated and useful information and research results from FSIV, and strengthen the e-database of plant resources and research results. Increase the quality and quantity of Forestry Science Journal. <\/span>In collaboration with VTC16, introduce technical guidelines to create breeding, plant, process, preserve forest products for farmers. <\/span>Publish papers to introduce the Institution and its achivement on the accasion of 50th anniversary of FSIV.<\/span><\/p>\n
