This journal provides in-depth review articles contributed by international experts on the most significant developments in the field of forestry. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions the journal intends to highlight and summarize key topics that are of major importance to researchers and managers of forestry resources. We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas across the field, such as physiological processes, tree genetics, forest management, remote sensing and wood structure and function. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research.

Food packaging plays a vital role in preserving food throughout the distribution chain. Without packaging, the processing of food can become compromised as it is contaminated by direct contact with physical, chemical, and biological contaminants. In recent years, the development of novel food packaging (modified atmosphere & active packaging) has not only increased the shelf life of foods, but also their safety and quality - therefore bringing convenience to consumers. Directly related, and interlinked, with food packaging is the concept of shelf life - the length of time that foods, beverages, pharmaceutical drugs, chemicals, and many other perishable items are given before they are considered unsuitable for sale, use, or consumption.
