Small-Scale Forestry

Emerging from discussions within the Small-scale Forestry group of The International Union of Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO), Small-scale Forestry was founded in 2002 as Small-scale Forest Economics, Management and Policy. Its aim is to provide an international forum for publishing high quality, peer-reviewed papers on pure and applied research into small-scale forestry.The journal presents empirical, theoretical, modeling, and methodological papers. The range of topics extends from the role of small-scale forestry in rural development, to financial modeling and decision support systems, to wood harvesting and processing and beyond. The result is a thorough examination of the social, economic and technical dimensions of farm, family, non-industrial and community forestry.Of particular interest to the global research community, Small-scale Forestry is also useful to both policy makers and forest managers.

小型林业是国际森林研究组织联盟(IUFRO)小型林业小组讨论的产物，于2002年作为小型森林经济、管理和政策而成立。其目的是提供一个国际论坛，发表关于小规模林业的纯和应用研究的高质量、同行评议的论文。该杂志提供实证、理论、模型和方法论文。主题的范围从小型林业在农村发展中的作用，到金融模型和决策支助系统，到木材收割和加工等等。其结果是彻底审查了农场、家庭、非工业和社区林业的社会、经济和技术方面。对全球研究界特别感兴趣的是，小规模林业对决策者和森林管理人员也很有用。
