Dear IUFRO D5 colleagues, belated New Year Greetings!
This is to inform you that the IUFRO D5.1 "Wood and Fiber Quality" is sponsoring an special issue of Forests "Nondestructive Evaluation of Forest Biomaterials: A Global Perspective" (Guest Editor: Dr. Robert Ross).
This Special Issue is focused on the nondestructive testing and evaluation of wood, forest products, and timber structures. It will include papers on nondestructive evaluation that will provide a historical perspective and review of fundamental principles. Papers, prepared by internationally recognized technical authorities, that summarize the state-of-the-art in the application of these principles and current research activities from around the world will be included.
Deadline for manuscript submissions: 25 July 2021.
To submit a manuscript, please check:

Betreff: Dissemination of Special issue sponsored by IUFRO
Special Issue "Non-Wood Forest Products Management: Inventory, Planning, Governance, Marketing and Trade"
Dear Colleagues,
The International Union of Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO Units 4.04.04-Sustainable Forest Management Scheduling and 5.11.00-Non-Wood Forest Products and the IUFRO Task Force on Unlocking the Bioeconomy and Non-Timber Forest Products) as well as the 19th Symposium on Systems Analysis in Forest Resources (SSAFR 2021) are sponsoring this Special Issue of Forests (http://www.mdpi.com/journal/forests)
We welcome the submission of manuscripts for publication in this Forests special issue (SI). There are a myriad of opportunities to unlock the full potential of NWFPs, such as creating new knowledge and tools to optimize the sustainable provision and profitability of NWFPs, fostering the development of market conditions for NWFPs, and developing economic and governance strategies for the better management of wild forest products-particularly in low-income countries. Thus, this SI aims at contributing to the dissemination of research endeavors involving the development of models, methods, processes, and decision support tools to address the inventory, planning, harvesting, governance, certification, marketing, and trade of NWFPs. This will be influential to strengthen the NWFP knowledge base and of research strategies to support the full encapsulation of NWFPs in the framework of the sustainable management of forest ecosystems. Papers submitted for publication in this Special Issue will undergo a rigorous peer review process with the aim of prompt and wide dissemination of research results and applications.
