Forest Operations and Sustainability

The goal of this Special Issue is, therefore, to combine cross-disciplinary areas of forestry, highlighting sustainability, innovation, and latest research in the following areas:

• Forest operations (harvesting, biomass, road network planning, ergonomics, work safety, training, certification, supply chains, environmentally friendly forest operations, life cycle assessment, machine design, and mechanisation).
• Forest inventory and management (remote sensing, modelling, digitalisation, sensors, dynamics of the sustainable management, management of small private forests, etc.).
• Forest protection (forest fires, wildlife management, zoology, entomology, phytopathology, etc.).
• Forest genetics and dendrology (quantitative and population genetics, conservation of genetic resources, stress physiology, dendrology, etc.).
• Forest ecology (silviculture, phytocoenology, pedology, forest karst melioration with nature protection, etc.).
