The Farm Forestry Toolbox is a collection of computer programs, referred to as 'Tools', intended to be used by farm forest owners and managers to aid decision making. The Toolbox includes a set of simple 'Hand Tools'; conversation of measurements and map co-ordinates; measuring the volume of stacked logs, slope, basal area; and a survey tool. A second set of more complex tools or 'Power Tools'; are used to estimate site productivity (growth rate), volume and value of wood grown for individual trees, at the coupe or stand level and forest estate level. The Toolbox was included in the 2009 CSIRO publication ''Agroforestry for Natural Resource Management'' 〔Agroforestry for Natural Resource Management 2009. Edited by Ian Nuberg, Brendan George and Rowan Reid. CSIRO Publishing ISBN 9780643092242〕 The Toolbox Inventory tool is recognised in the ''A Standard for Valuing Commercial Forests in Australia'',〔Leech, Jerry and Ferguson, Ian, Technical Editors (2012), A Standard for Valuing Commercial Forests in Australia. Association of Consulting Foresters of Australia, Division of the Institute of Foresters of Australia, Canberra. Version 2.1, July 2012. This document is intended to be used for, but not restricted to, forest valuations required under the Corporations Act 2001, and forest valuations which require adherence to the AASB’s accounting standards. Version 1 was published in 2004 in response to the Australian Accounting Standards Board adoption of the SGARA approach in AAS 35 and AASB 1037. Version 2.0 reflected the Australian Accounting Standards Board adoption of the international accounting standards including AASB 141 “Agriculture”. Version 2.1 contains some minor editorial changes for clarification and reflecting the ongoing changes in the forestry sector. http://www.forestry.org.au/kcfinder/upload/files/A%20standard%20for%20valuing%20forests%20in%20Australia%20ACFA%20July%202012.pdf〕 as a suitable Tool to undertake inventory for the purposes of the Standard. A Workshop - ''The Farm Forestry Toolbox - Australia's most versatile and widely used forestry software'', was conducted as part of the 8th Australia and the New Zealand Institute of Forestry (ANZIF)〔ANZIF conference is convened by the Institute of Foresters of Australia and the New Zealand Institute of Forestry http://www.forestryconference.org.au/〕 Conference (2015). ==Background== Farm Forestry is a term used in Australia to describe the use of private land.〔Private land refers to land registered under Torrens title and leasehold land, usually leased from the government.〕 to grow wood products and provide a number of other ecosystem services. Farm Forestry is defined as 'establishment and/or management of trees or forests on agricultural landscapes for commercial, aesthetic and/or environmental reasons.〔''Australia's State of Forests Report 2013'' - Montreal Process Implementation Group for Australia and National Forest Inventory Steering Committee, 2013, Australia’s State of the Forests Report 2013, ABARES, Canberra, December.

Support for Farm Forestry is provided by both the Australian Government〔http://www.agriculture.gov.au/forestry/australias-forests/plantation-farm-forestry/management. Accessed 21 January 2015〕 and State governments. In 2005 the Australian government released a Farm Forestry - National Action Statement.〔http://www.agriculture.gov.au/SiteCollectionDocuments/forestry/plantation-farm/nas_booklet_web.pdf〕 Governments have provided grants, funded research, provided advice ((forest extension )) and tax incentives to encourage landowners to adopt Farm Forestry.〔'Farm Forestry Area and Resources In Australia' July 2008 Rural Industries Research and Development Corporation, Publication No. 08/104 Project No. URS-2A. https://rirdc.infoservices.com.au/downloads/08-104〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Farm Forestry Toolbox」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
