New Zealand Journal of Forestry Science

CThe scope of the Journal is international and covers the breadth of forestry science. While plantation forestry is a particular focus, manuscripts on a wide range of forestry topics (including tropical species, climate change, and policy) will also be considered.

Manuscripts are categorised using the seven criteria:

  • Biodiversity (including genetics and indigenous species);
  • Productive Capacity/Forest Management;
  • Forest Health and Vitality;
  • Soil and Water Resources;
  • Global Carbon Cycles;
  • Social/Economic Benefits of Forestry (including primary wood products, secondary wood products, and economics); and
  • Forestry Policy.
The Journal is edited and produced by Scion in Rotorua on behalf of the forestry interests of New Zealand. It began publication in May 1971.

The Journal is freely accessible online and subscription is not necessary. There is one volume per calendar year but not separate issues. Individual articles are published online as soon as they are ready. Sign up for our alert service and be the first to hear about new research published in the New Zealand Journal of Forestry Science.
