Bois et Forets des Tropiques

Aims & Scope

In 1947, the former Tropical Forest Technical Centre (CTFT), now part of CIRAD, created the journal Bois et Forêts des Tropiques.

Since then, it has disseminated knowledge and research results on forests in intertropical and Mediterranean regions to more than sixty countries.

The articles, peer evaluated and reviewed, are short, synthetic and accessible to researchers, engineers, technicians, students and decision-makers.

They present original, innovative research results, inventions or discoveries.

The journal publishes in an international dimension.

The topics covered are of general interest and are aimed at an informed international audience.
