Its 2025 impact factor is 3.3.《森林科学年鉴》是一份国际研究期刊，刊载变化世界中的森林与木材方面的多学科研究，属于法国国家农业，食品与环境研究院的期刊之一。该刊可追溯到 1964 年创办的一份法国林学期刊，自 2022 年 1 月起完全开放获取。其 2025 年影响因子为 3.3。

Scope

• The journal covers the biology of trees and of the organisms associated with them, so that the living tree stands at the centre of a large part of what it publishes.该刊覆盖树木及其伴生生物的生物学，把活的树木置于其发表内容一大部分的中心。

• Forest dynamics and ecosystem processes come next, and the editors single out work that reads those processes against environmental or management drivers rather than against nothing at all.森林动态与生态系统过程是第二个方向，编辑特别点出把这类过程放在环境或经营驱动因素下考察，而不是无所参照的研究。

• Within that strand, ecology and genetics are named as the disciplines that the journal expects to see represented.在这一线索之内，生态学与遗传学被点名为该刊希望看到的方向。

• Risks and disturbances that affect forest ecosystems form a subject of their own, and the editors invite biology, ecology and economics to be brought to bear on them.影响森林生态系统的风险与干扰自成一项选题，编辑邀请研究运用生物学，生态学与经济学的视角。

• Forests as drivers of a sustainable, circular and inclusive bioeconomy make up a further subject, which widens the journal beyond the woodlot.森林作为可持续，循环与包容性生物经济的驱动因素构成又一项选题，这使该刊的范围超出林分本身。

• Tree breeding, forest management and productivity, ecosystem services and silviculture are the strands that the editors list under that heading.树木育种，森林经营与生产力，生态系统服务以及营林，是编辑在该标题下列出的几股线索。

• Wood science closes the range, and it takes in the relationships between wood structure and the functioning of the tree, and between forest management or environment and the properties of wood.木材科学补足了其范围，它涵盖木材结构与树木功能之间的关系，以及森林经营或环境与木材性质之间的关系。

• New ideas and methods for measuring or monitoring any property of interest in tree biology, forest ecosystem dynamics or wood are encouraged.在树木生物学，森林生态系统动态或木材方面，用于测量或监测任何有价值的性质的新构想与新方法受到鼓励。

• Model-based papers are welcomed when they are focused on the forestry and wood chain, including carbon accounting investigations, ecosystem services and the quantification of links between management and the properties of end products.以模型为方法的论文受到欢迎，只要它们聚焦林业与木材链条，包括碳核算研究，生态系统服务以及经营与终端产品性质之间关系的量化。

• Review articles on timely topics inside the scope of the journal are commissioned or accepted.属于该刊范围且切合时机的综述文章既可由编辑约稿，也可投稿。

• Data papers that present databases made available to a wider community are published, as are opinion papers that argue about open research questions.向更广的共同体开放数据库的数据论文会被发表，围绕开放研究问题展开论证的观点文章也是如此。

• Publishing is open access, so readers pay nothing, and the article processing charge stands at 1740 pounds sterling, 2470 US dollars or 1940 euros.出版采用开放获取，读者不需付费，文章处理费为 1740 英镑，2470 美元或 1940 欧元。

History

• The journal began life as Annales des Sciences Forestières, a French title launched in 1964 for research in forestry, tree breeding, silviculture and wood quality.该刊最初以《Annales des Sciences Forestières》问世，这是 1964 年创办的一份法文刊物，刊载林业，树木育种，营林与木材品质方面的研究。

• That title ran to 1998, when the journal switched largely to English and took the present name.该法文刊名延续到 1998 年，此后该刊大体转为英文并改用现名。

• Its lineage reaches further back still, since it followed an earlier series of the national forestry school that began publishing in the 1920s.其血脉还可上溯更远，因为它接续了国家林业学校自 1920 年代开始出版的一套丛刊。

• (Jean Pardé) edited the journal from 1964 to 1984 and (Gilbert Aussenac) from 1984 to 2006, so the title has had long editorial tenures.（Jean Pardé）从 1964 年到 1984 年主持该刊，（Gilbert Aussenac）从 1984 年到 2006 年主持，可见其编辑任期一向很长。

• It was published directly by the national institute in its early years, then by Elsevier France from 1989, by EDP Sciences from 2000 to 2010 and by Springer from 2011.该刊早年由研究院直接出版，1989 年起由 Elsevier France 出版，2000 年至 2010 年由 EDP Sciences 出版，2011 年起由 Springer 出版。

• The print number is 1286-4560 and the electronic number 1297-966X, and the journal takes eight issues in a year.其印本刊号为 1286-4560，电子刊号为 1297-966X，该刊每年出版八期。

• It is owned by the French National Institute for Agriculture, Food and Environment, a public non-profit research body.该刊由法国国家农业，食品与环境研究院拥有，这是一家公立非营利研究机构。

• From the first of January 2022 the journal moved to a full open access model under a five-year publishing contract between the institute and Springer Nature.自 2022 年 1 月 1 日起，该刊依据研究院与 Springer Nature 之间的五年出版合同，转为完全开放获取模式。

• That arrangement runs to 2026, and from 2027 the journal will be published by Cambridge University Press instead.这一安排持续到 2026 年，自 2027 年起该刊将改由剑桥大学出版社出版。

• New submissions were moved to an Editorial Manager site as the publisher changed.随着出版方更替，新投稿被转到 Editorial Manager 站点。

• The 2025 impact factor is 3.3 and the five-year figure is 3.8, which places the title in the first quartile of forestry.该刊 2025 年影响因子为 3.3，五年影响因子为 3.8，位于林学的第一象限。

• Its snapshot records 5581 citations and 43 articles, with a cited half-life of 10.3 years, which is long for a forestry title.其快照记录总被引 5581 次，年发文 43 篇，被引半衰期 10.3 年，对一份林学期刊而言相当长。

• The archive of the earlier French title is still available online, and it holds more than twelve hundred papers published between 1964 and 1998.较早那份法文刊名的档案仍可在线获取，其中收录了 1964 年至 1998 年间发表的一千二百多篇论文。

• A series of sponsored review papers marked fifty years of the journal in 2015, which fixes 1964 as the year that the editors themselves count from.2015 年该刊以一组受资助的综述文章纪念创刊五十周年，这把 1964 年确立为编辑们自己起算的年份。

• The journal keeps a green open access archive, so its back volumes stay readable without charge once a year has passed from publication.该刊维护一个绿色开放获取档案，因此在出版满一年之后，其过刊都可以免费阅读。
