Editorial
Forestry science is an important topic for the sustainable management and knowledge of these ecosystems and products that they offer. In this issue of FREIJ, Bedassa analyses the potential of molecular markers application for management forest gene conservation; whereas Daniel and collaborators analyze marketing values, product classes, and product weights of Pinus taeda for two machines (tracked processors vs. knuckle–boom loaders). On the other hand, Huang and Zou offer a new approach to evaluate site quality for reforestation programs on the basis that calcium supply potential is likely the best predictor of plant performance. Additionally, Dejene et al. determined the factors involved in the farmers decision to participate in the plantation of Heavea brasiliensis in an Ethiopian locality. Labe et al. studied the avifauna that lives in and around a Nigerian university. The academic contribution of Zylkowski and Frihart study the volatile organic compounds emissions from 13 North American engineered wood products. Finally, Chandramohanan and Narayanan realized a research about the heritability, genetic advance and variability of medicinally important plant Scoparia dulcis.
The present issue of FREIJ shows that current trends in forest sciences include approaches to genetics, commercialization, forest resource management technology, modeling, plant physiology, social perception, and biodiversity associated to trees and forests. I hope this issue is of interest to forestry engineers and scientists.
