Special Issue on

Forest Management and Sustainable Development

The forest is a system that can be influenced by the natural environment (such as climate, topography, soil) as well as by human activity. Forest management is concerned with overall administrative, economic, legal, and social aspects, as well as scientific and technical aspects, such as silviculture, protection, and forest regulation. Sustainable forest management of both natural and planted forests is essential to achieving sustainable development.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring Forest Management and Sustainable Development. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Forest goods and services
• Forest restoration and regeneration
• Sustainable use of forests
• Forest fire management
• Forest law enforcement
• Forest inventory
• Wildlife protection

Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly specify the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title. The research field “Special Issue - Forest Management and Sustainable Development” should be selected during your submission.
