“The research on forestry has been improved over the past few years, especially in China. The research gap with herbaceous demonstration plants and crops is rapidly narrowing in terms of the number, depth and impact of innovations. The launch of Forestry Research is a timely opportunity to address the dilemma of the lack of world-class journals in the field of forestry research. I am delighted to have this opportunity to contribute to the journal. I am full of hope and enthusiasm for the future. We firmly believe that Forestry Research will become an open-source archive of world-class academic achievements, a highly trusted source of innovative information and technology, and a new global platform for academic exchange and knowledge dissemination in forestry and related disciplines.” Professor Niu said.
