Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The journal publishes research on forest ecosystems, including their floristic diversity, structure, and regeneration. Studies investigate tree species, seed treatments, and the impact of spacing on growth and biomass. Research also covers the sustainable management of forest products, including non-timber forest products and bamboo, and the role of small-scale farmers and households in forestry. Additionally, the journal addresses forest-related issues such as carbon sequestration, climate regulation, and the influence of land use change on ecosystem services.
