Forestry

Aims & Scope

The journal is inclusive of all subjects, geographical zones and study locations, including trees in urban environments, plantations and natural forests.

We welcome papers that consider economic, environmental and social factors and, in particular, studies that take an integrated approach to sustainable management.

In considering suitability for publication, attention is given to the originality of contributions and their likely impact on policy and practice, as well as their contribution to the development of knowledge.

Special Issues - each year one edition of Forestry will be a Special Issue and will focus on one subject in detail; this will usually be by publication of the proceedings of an international meeting.
