森林生態系統是一種開放獲取、同行評議的期刊，發表來自任何學科的科學交流，可以提供關于“自然”和“馴化”森林生態系統的結構和動態及其對人類的服務的有趣貢獻。該雜志歡迎創新科學和應用導向的工作，將加強對木本植物群落的了解。非常具體的研究是受歡迎的，如果它們是專題系列的一部分，提供一些整體的觀點，這是普遍感興趣的。

Forest Ecosystems is an open access, peer-reviewed journal publishing scientific communications from any discipline that can provide interesting contributions about the structure and dynamics of "natural" and "domesticated" forest ecosystems, and their services to people. The journal welcomes innovative science as well as application oriented work that will enhance understanding of woody plant communities. Very specific studies are welcome if they are part of a thematic series that provides some holistic perspective that is of general interest.
