Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Secondary or diameter growth in perennial plants occurs through water, photosynthate and nutrient allocation in support of cellular metabolism, division, expansion and differentiation phenomena within interfascicular cambium, cortical tissues, vascular cambium and phellogen. These phenomena and tolerance of stems and roots to changing environments are crucially important for the survival of perennial woody species, and their explanations reside in genetics, biochemistry, biophysics and cell biology. This Special Issue will review the state of knowledge and present new findings on how secondary growth is regulated, with particular emphasis on the need to understand the basis for survival fitness and sustainability of woody species in a changing biosphere.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Forests is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
