# Forest Ecology and Management (forest-ecology-and-management)

## Journal positioning

Forest Ecology and Management is Elsevier's outlet for the science of forest ecosystems and
how that science informs their management: forest ecology and stand dynamics, silviculture
and regeneration, disturbance (fire, wind, insects, pathogens) and restoration, biodiversity
and habitat, and carbon, growth, and productivity. Its defining expectation is **sound
ecological evidence paired with explicit management relevance** — a study must both advance
understanding of how forests function and make clear what its findings mean for managing,
restoring, or conserving forested land. A competent forest-ecology paper with no applied or
management implication, or a non-forest ecological study, is a poor fit however rigorous.
This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the
journal's current author guidance. Before submitting, re-check the live Forest Ecology and
