  • Forest Ecology and Management

    • ISSN: 0378-1127
    Science to Sustain the World’s ForestsForest Ecology and Management focuses on scientific articles linking forest ecology with forest management, with potential application of biological and ecological knowledge to the management and conservation of plantations and natural forests.The journal encourages communication between scientists in disparate fields who share a common interest in ecology and forest management, bridging the gap between scientists and forest managers. A peer-review process ensures the quality and international interest of the manuscripts accepted for publication. Authors are invited to benefit from editorials that provide advice for constructing strong papers.We encourage submission of papers that will be of strong interest and value to the Journal's international readership. Some key features of papers with strong interest include: 1. Clear connections between the ecology and management of forests; 2. Novel ideas or approaches to important challenges in forest ecology and management; 3. Studies that address a population of interest beyond the scale of single research sites (see the editorial, Three key points in the design of forest experiments, Forest Ecology and Management 255 (2008) 2022-2023); 4. Review Articles on timely, important topics. Authors are invited to contact one of the Editors to discuss the suitability of a potential review manuscript, which can be a regular review, an Mini review or a Tamm review (see the Guide for Authors for details about each type of review article).We invite to read the following editorial article with more advice in relation to preferred articles: How to avoid having your manuscript rejected: Perspectives from the Editors of Forest Ecology and Management, Volume 473, 1 October 2020, 118321.The Journal encourages proposals for special issues examining important areas of forest ecology and management. Potential guest editors should contact one of the Editors to initiate a discussion about topics, potential papers, and other details.
  • Journal of Experimental Horticulture

    • ISSN: 3051-1186
    The Journal of Experimental Horticulture is an international, multidisciplinary journal dedicated to advancing the field of horticulture. The journal’s primary aim is to publish high-quality scientific papers that enhance knowledge and deepen our understanding of horticultural crop biology, physiology and genetics. We seek research that contributes to the development of superior horticultural crops and provide valuable insights for the sustainable improvement of horticultural plant cultivation and food security.We encourage researchers to submit manuscripts focused on various aspects of horticultural crops including but not limited to:Molecular breeding for improved horticultural crop productionPlant and fruit physiologyPostharves... physiology and biologyPlant-pathoge... interactionsDevelopm... and molecular responses to abiotic stressesResilience and adaptation to climate changeGenomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics, phenomics and the integration of OMICs technologies in horticultural cropsHorticulture genetic resourcesGenome editing in horticultural cropsWe welcome submissions based on both basic sciences, aimed at understanding fundamental processes in horticultural crops, and applied research that benefits various aspects of horticultural science, such as breeding, cultivation, crop quality and postharvest management. Papers that report valuable preliminary data or single-year studies will be considered if they provide significant insights and are supported by comprehensive methodologies and robust results. Descriptive or confirmatory studies on biological processes previously described in other model species, are welcome, as long as they are driven by a clear hypothesis and conducted with appropriate methodologies.Journa... of Experimental Horticulture DOES NOT accept papers based on non-horticultural species, such as cereals, forestry, medicinal and industrial crops. Studies on plant-pathogen interactions that primarily focus on the pathogen, molecular biology studies or biotechnological applications without a clear orientation toward horticulture, and technological approaches unrelated to horticultural science (e.g., engineering applications or fruit processing) will be considered OUT of SCOPE. We place a high value on molecular investigations of fruit during postharvest, however, papers focused solely on the application of postharvest technologies will be considered OUT of SCOPE.The journal will also organize Special Issues on important and specific topics curated by Guest Editors.
