We hope to call upon your expertise as a reviewer to help maintain the quality and efficiency of Forests.

We are particularly interested in recruiting reviewers in the following fields related to forests. In recent decades, this area has attracted a lot of research interest and significant progress has been made. We welcome scholars with research experience in topics including but not limited to the following:

• forest ecology, management, and restoration;
• forest economics and natural resource policy and planning;
• silvicultural systems;
• forest entomology and forest pathology;
• forest ecophysiology and biology;
• forest genetics, tree breeding, and biotechnology;
• climate change impacts, adaptation, and mitigation in forests;
• forest biomass, bioenergy, and carbon sequestration;
• forest engineering;
• tropical forests and management;
• forest inventory, quantitative methods, and remote sensing;
• forest soil management;
• forest simulation modeling;
• forest and nature-based recreation;
• wildland fire science and management;
• wood properties;
• human dimensions;
• urban forests.

We will extend the following benefits to reviewers:

1. The Forests Editorial Board will acknowledge all reviewers in its annual reviewer list through a publication/announcement in the “Acknowledgement to Reviewers of Forests” editorial on the journal website.
2. Reviewer members who provide prompt, thorough, rigorous peer-review reports will receive a voucher that can be applied to reduce the cost of their next publication in an MDPI journal.
3. We hold an “outstanding reviewer award” yearly to acknowledge our reviewers who so generously give their time to review papers for the journal. There would be a chance for you to receive this award. Please click here for more details: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/forests/awards.pdf/0/pdf_42_2022_1_award.pdf.
4. Reviewers may be presented with the option to join the Editorial Board of the journal (subject to the approval of the Editor-in-Chief).

We would greatly appreciate your support and hope you will join our team of reviewers!
