Indian Journal of Forestry (IJF)

The Indian Journal of Forestry (IJF) is an international peer-reviewed quarterly journal initiated in the year 1978 by noted botanist Dr. MB Raizada. Subject Coverage: IJF is multi-disciplinary in nature covering the thematic areas viz., Forest Ecology and Management, Wildlife Ecology, Vegetation Science, Eco-floristics, and Biodiversity Conservation. It caters to the need of Forest Ecologists, Forest and Wildlife Managers, Forest Policymakers, Plant Ecologists, and Taxonomists engaged in various Conservation agencies within the Indian sub-continent. Besides full-length research articles based on scientific research conducted in the Indian sub-continent, IJF also welcomes review articles, scientific correspondence, forest news, and opinion and book reviews on original and interesting aspects of field forestry and forest ecology within the Indian sub-continent. Forestry as a discipline has evolved considerably since past few decades. Undoubtedly, its focus has shifted from Silviculture, Forest Utilization and Forest Economics to Biodiversity Conservation, Climate Change Mitigation, Restoration Ecology and Valuation of Ecosystem Services. For example, the Government of India has recently revised its National Forestry Working Plan Code (2014) and has prescribed mainstreaming of Biodiversity Conservation in forestry working. A large number of forestry research and training institutions in the Indian sub-continent and South-east Asia are thus engaged in assessment of Forest Biodiversity, Forest Ecology, Participatory Management of forests for multiple values, Carbon Stock estimation and restoration. Thus, Forestry has emerged as an inter-disciplinary subject in the current scenario. We believe that the Forest Ecologists, Practicing Foresters, Field Botanists and Conservation Biologists engaged in observational and experimental research need to share their findings in the form of peer reviewed research articles in a Journal. Indian Journal of Forestry provides this opportunity. Besides full length academic and technical articles on the thematic areas such as, Forest Ecology and Management, Wildlife Ecology, Vegetation Science, Eco-floristic and Biodiversity Conservation, IJF also publishes review articles, scientific correspondence, forest news and opinion and book reviews with a particular emphasis on the emerging, interesting and advanced aspects of field forestry and forest ecology within the Indian sub-continent. Occasionally, IJF also publishes special issues on thematic areas viz., Forest Ecology and Management, Wildlife Ecology, Vegetation Science, Eco-floristics and Biodiversity Conservation.
