• Wood physics and physical technologies make up the second group.木材物理与物理技术构成第二个主题组。

• Wood chemistry and chemical technologies close the third.木材化学与化学技术补足了第三个。

• Work on the cell wall and on wood formation is named among the areas the journal follows most closely.涉及细胞壁与木材形成的研究，被列为该刊最为关注的领域之一。

• The structural and chemical composition of wood and of wood composites falls inside the scope, together with the relations between composition and properties.木材与木质复合材料的结构与化学组成属于其范围，组成与性能之间的关系也在其中。

• Physical, mechanical and chemical characterisation appears on the list, along with the methods that go with it.物理，力学与化学表征及其相应方法出现在清单之上。

• Topics related to wood technology are taken as a group, and machining is the first of them.与木材技术相关的选题作为一组被接收，机械加工是其中的第一个。

• Gluing and finishing appear on the same list, since both determine how a wooden product performs in service.胶接与涂饰出现在同一份清单上，因为两者都决定木制品在使用中的表现。

• Composite technology is covered, which connects the journal to engineered wood products.复合材料技术也在覆盖之列，这把该刊与工程木制品联系起来。
