Aims and Scope
Forest Ecology and Management publishes scientific articles linking forest ecology with forest management, focusing on the application of biological, ecological and social knowledge to the management and conservation of plantations and natural forests. The scope of the journal includes all forest ecosystems of the world.
A peer-review process ensures the quality and international interest of the manuscripts accepted for publication. The journal encourages communication between scientists in disparate fields who share a common interest in ecology and forest management, bridging the gap between research workers and forest managers.
We encourage submission of papers that will have the strongest 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, 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 welcome to contact one of the editors to discuss the suitability of a potential review manuscript.
The Journal encourages proposals for special issues examining important areas of forest ecology and management. Potential guest editors should contact any of the Editors to begin discussions about topics, potential papers, and other details.

Verified Reviews
In total, three papers have been submitted to Forest Ecology and Management. One has been accepted, one is currently undergoing major revisions, and one has been rejected. Generally, it takes 1-2 months for the review process with two reviewers. Overall, it seems difficult to find reviewers for macro-geography and ecology studies. The reviewers for these three papers were not from the same field, and some were more inclined towards experimental studies, resulting in doubts about the model methods.
2021.1.13 Under review
2021.3.31 Major revision with two reviewers, each providing five questions. However, many of the questions cannot be resolved in the short term, so we can only respond as best as we can.
2021.4.12 Revised
2021.4.16 Under review
2021.5.5 Accepted
This is the second article accepted by this journal.
In February, I also submitted an article, but in April, I received a rejection message after external review. At the end of April, I submitted another article, which was rejected by the editor.
Compared to the first submission, the external review process for the later submissions took longer, close to two months. Some editors handled the process promptly, while others were slower.
The journal tends to focus on ecological management.
