New Forests

New Forests publishes original papers on the fundamental and applied aspects of afforestation and reforestation for a broad international audience of scientists and practitioners. Journal articles concern the reproduction of trees and forests originating from seed, planted seedlings or coppice for the purposes of resource protection, timber production, and agro-forestry. Natural and artificial methods of regeneration and all stand structures from even-aged to uneven-aged are considered. Topics include general silviculture, plant physiology, genetics, biotechnology, ecology, economics, protection, and management of all stages in the process of afforestation and reforestation. Types of Papers: The types of papers include: 1.) original research papers and reviews, 30 pages; 2.) research reports, 12 pages; and 3.) book reviews and announcements, 1 page. Original research papers report results of a full-blown scientific study where conclusions are based on significant findings after thorough evaluation of the topic. Research reports present significant findings from tangential investigations that are offshoots from larger studies or from early results that will have to be confirmed through further study. Research papers and reviews will be reviewed by a coordinating editor and two reviewers. Research reports, book reviews and announcements will be reviewed by the Editor-In-Chief and, if necessary, one other reviewer.
