The contents of Volumes 1-8 of Forest Ecosystems published with Springer can be found here.(https://forestecosyst.springeropen.com/)Forest Ecosystems is an open access, peer-reviewed journal publishing scientific communications from any discipline that can provide interesting contributions about the structure and dynamics of "natural" and "domesticated" forest ecosystems, and their services to people. The journal welcomes innovative science as well as application-oriented work that will enhance understanding of woody plant communities. Very specific studies are welcome if they are part of a thematic series that provides some holistic perspective that is of general interest.Editorial Board

Journal of Outdoor Recreation and Tourism

  • ISSN: 2213-0780
  • 5 Year impact factor: 3.7
  • Impact factor: 3.6
Journal of Outdoor Recreation and Tourism offers a dedicated outlet for research relevant to social sciences and natural resources. The journal publishes peer reviewed original research on all aspects of outdoor recreation planning and management, covering the entire spectrum of settings from wilderness to urban outdoor recreation opportunities. It also focuses on new products and findings in nature based tourism and park management. JORT is an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary journal, articles may focus on any aspect of theory, method, or concept of outdoor recreation research, planning or management, and interdisciplinary work is especially welcome, and may be of a theoretical and/or a case study nature. Depending on the topic of investigation, articles may be positioned within one academic discipline, or draw from several disciplines in an integrative manner, with overarching relevance to social sciences and natural resources. JORT is international in scope and attracts scholars from all reaches of the world to facilitate the exchange of ideas. As such, the journal enhances understanding of scientific knowledge, empirical results, and practitioners' needs. Therefore in JORT each article is accompanied by an executive summary, written by the editors or authors, highlighting the planning and management relevant aspects of the article.

Trees, Forests and People

  • ISSN: 2666-7193
  • 5 Year impact factor: 2.7
  • Impact factor: 2.7
Description Trees, Forests and People publishes peer-reviewed papers across this full domain of tree- and forest-related science and practice. To ensure maximum value of knowledge, all papers are published open-access to be read and applied by people around the world. The Journal welcomes contributions from all disciplines in natural and social sciences related to trees and forests in any setting, from trees found within urban landscapes or agroforestry fields to those found in forest plantations and landscapes that deal with ecological, social, economic, and political issues for managing trees and forests. The Journal publishes the following article types: Research articles are full-length papers based on original data and analysis; Review articles provide a systematic, analytical overview of scientific literature; Commentaries (typically under 3,000 words, these receive a fast track review by the editorial team) of three types (Comments critically discuss previous research; Research Trends and Needs identify emerging research trends and new, critical future research areas; and Policy Reviews briefly examine current or proposed policies relevant to managing trees, forests and people). We also welcome Special Issues, collections of articles organized under a specific topic. Potential Guest Editors are invited to submit proposals for Special Issues, including a brief description of the topic, and a list of potential contributors and tentative titles of their articles to one of the Editors.Introduction Trees and forests are at the heart of many of the most important issues of the 21st century, ranging from the survival of long-lived trees to the livelihoods of people who depend on sustained use of forest resources. The domain of Trees, Forests and People encompasses studies that examine important details about specialized topics, and broader efforts that integrate these topics to address issues of complex social-ecological systems. The Journal's focus includes trees and forests in any setting, from trees found within urban landscapes or agroforestry fields to those found in forest plantations and landscapes. The present and future state of forests is intimately tied to human factors: people strongly influence most of the world's forests today, and these forests provide for the needs of people around the globe.The Journal welcomes papers that deal with social, economic, and political issues to complement studies on tree physiology, forest ecology and silviculture. This full range of subject areas includes:tree and forest growth, including case studies and development of allometric approaches;genetics of tree species;silvicultural systems;urban forestry and urban greening;agroforestry and non-timber forest products;biodiversity;forest restoration;forest soils;carbon budgets and fluxes;biomass and bioenergy;wildlife and forest habitat;water resources in forest landscapes;invasive species impacts and management;forest events such as fires, pests and pathogens, disturbance;pollution effects on trees and forests;remote sensing and GIS development and application in forest landscapes;forest economics, including changing markets, products, supply chain, and demands;forest ecosystem services;forest livelihoods, including studies of poverty reduction through use of forest resources;climate responses of forest, including scenarios of forest futures;forest governance;forest landscapes as social-ecological systems;case studies dealing with specific locations and situations, as well as broader studies with large populations of inference.All submitted manuscripts will be subject to a thorough peer-reviewing process.

Urban Forestry & Urban Greening

  • ISSN: 1618-8667
  • 5 Year impact factor: 6.4
  • Impact factor: 6
Urban Forestry and Urban Greening is a refereed, international journal aimed at presenting high-quality research with urban and peri-urban woody and non-woody vegetation and its use, planning, design, establishment and management as its main topics. Urban Forestry and Urban Greening concentrates on all tree-dominated (as joint together in urban forests) as well as other green resources in and around urban areas, such as woodlands, public and private urban parks and gardens, urban nature areas, street tree and square plantations, botanical gardens and cemeteries, building envelop greening, etc.The journal welcomes basic and applied research papers, as well as review papers and short communications. Contributions should focus on one or more of the following aspects:Form, functions, and ecosystem services of urban forests and other vegetation, including aspects of urban environmental science and urban ecology.Policy-making, planning and design related to urban forests and other vegetation.Selection and establishment of tree resources and other vegetation for urban environments.Management of urban forests and other vegetation.The ecosystem services urban vegetation provides.Original contributions of a high academic standard are invited from a wide range of disciplines and fields, including forestry, biology, horticulture, arboriculture, landscape ecology, pathology, soil science, hydrology, landscape architecture, landscape planning, urban planning and design, environmental/ecological economics, environmental sociology, environmental psychology, public health, and education.Special attention will be given to interdisciplinary research as developed under the approaches of, for example, urban forestry, arboriculture, urban greening, urban ecology, urban health, urban agriculture, urban horticulture, urban silviculture, and community forestry.For field research or descriptive studies, a robust dataset made of multiple dates of measurement conducted over different growing seasons is required for publication. For research conducted under controlled conditions or research conducted using a mechanistic approach, multiple sampling dates are still required, although monitoring can be conducted over shorter time periods.
