Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal publishes research on forest ecosystems, focusing on the impacts of disturbances such as insect defoliation, fire, harvest, and disease on forest health, structure, and function. It also covers tree mortality, water relations, carbon and nutrient cycles, and the influence of environmental factors and silvicultural treatments on forest dynamics. Studies investigate forest management planning, conservation status assessment, and the relationship between topography, forest structure, and species abundance.
