Small-scale Forestry

Journal Title：Small-scale Forestry

Emerging from discussions within IUFRO’s Small-scale Forestry group, Small-scale Forestry was originally published as Small-scale Forest Economics, Management and Policy in 2002, with a view to providing an international forum for publishing high quality, peer-reviewed papers on pure and applied research into small-scale forestry. Although of particular interest to the global research community, the journal is also relevant to both policy makers and forest managers.

The scope of the journal is necessarily quite broad, given the range of issues relevant to small-scale forestry. These include the social, economic and technical dimensions of farm, family, non-industrial, agro- and community forestry. Papers are accepted on the basis that they relate specifically to forestry at this scale, and that they are based on high quality research using accepted quantitative and/or qualitative methodology.

Empirical, theoretical, modeling, and methodological papers are all welcome. The following research areas are particularly relevant to the journal:

-the role of small-scale forestry in rural development-

financial modeling and decision support systems-

enhancing return from non-wood products-

social impacts of small-scale forestry-

marketing, forest co-operatives and growers organizations-

role and effectiveness of government support and subsidies-

innovative research techniques-

education and extension-

certification-

silvicultural, wood harvesting and processing techniques and technologies-

impediments to small-scale forestry development-

monitoring socio-economics-

forest management behaviour and timber supply

《小规模林业》诞生于国际林业研究联合会小规模林业小组的讨论中，最初于 2002 年以《小规模森林经济、管理和政策》为名出版，旨在为发表高质量、同行评议的小规模林业纯研究和应用研究论文提供一个国际论坛。尽管该期刊特别受到全球研究界的关注，但它也与政策制定者和森林管理者息息相关。

鉴于与小规模林业相关的问题范围，该期刊的范围必然非常广泛。这些包括农场、家庭、非工业、农业和社区林业的社会、经济和技术层面。论文被接受的前提是它们与这种规模的林业具体相关，并且它们基于使用公认的定量和/或定性方法的高质量研究。

欢迎实证、理论、建模和方法论文。以下研究领域与该期刊特别相关：

-小规模林业在农村发展中的作用-

财务建模和决策支持系统-

提高非木材产品的回报-

小规模林业的社会影响-

营销、森林合作社和种植者组织-

政府支持和补贴的作用和有效性-

创新研究技术-

教育和推广-

认证-

造林、木材采伐和加工技术-

小规模林业发展的障碍-

监测社会经济-

森林管理行为和木材供应
