Special Issue on Silvicultures
Silviculture
is the art and science of controlling the establishment, growth, composition,
health, and quality of forests and woodlands to meet the diverse needs and
values of landowners and society such as wildlife habitat, timber, water
resources, restoration, and recreation on a sustainable basis. This is
accomplished by applying different types of silvicultural treatments such as
thinning, harvesting, planting, pruning, prescribed burning and site preparation.
Intermediate treatments (thinning) are designed to enhance growth, quality,
vigor, and composition of the stand after establishment or regeneration and
prior to final harvest. The goal of this
special issue is to provide a platform for scientists and academicians all over
the world to promote, share, and discuss various new issues and developments in
the area of Silvicultures.
In this special issue, we invite front-line researchers and

limited to:
