Small-scale Forestry

期刊简介：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

【译文】Small-scale Forestry期刊最初于2002年以《Small-scale Forest Economics, Management and Policy》的形式出版，源于IUFRO的小规模林业小组的讨论。该期刊旨在为高质量、同行评审的纯研究和应用研究提供国际论坛，内容涉及小规模林业。尽管对全球研究界特别感兴趣，但该期刊对政策制定者和林业管理者也具有重要意义。鉴于与小型林业相关的问题范围很广，该期刊的范围必然相当广泛。这些包括农场、家庭、非工业、农业和社区林业的社会、经济和技术维度。论文接受基于它们与这一规模的具体林业相关，并且基于使用接受的定量和/或定性方法的高质量研究。实证、理论、建模和方法论论文都受欢迎。以下研究领域特别相关于该期刊：小规模林业在乡村发展中的作用、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、林业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、林业、木材采伐和加工技术和工艺、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。
