Effects of Environmental Factors and Silvicultural Treatments on Tree Growth, Wood Properties, and Wood Formation
This special issue belongs to the section “Wood Science and Forest Products“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wood is a multipurpose material that is widely used throughout the world. Wood tissue is formed through xylogenesis, which is genetically controlled and modified by environmental factors and silviculture. In this Special Issue, we aim to collect articles showing the latest research results on wood properties and formation. Climate change may affect the condition of forests and, thus, the supply of wood raw materials. On the other hand, the increasing world population may affect the demand for wood raw materials. Therefore, the goal of modern forest management and the various timber production solutions used worldwide is both the sustainable use of forest resources and the supply of timber to the market in sufficient quantity and quality.
