About the journal
BALTIC FORESTRY is peer reviewed international scientific journal.
The journal welcomes the original articles as well as short reports, review papers on forestry and forest science in the Baltic States and throughout the Baltic Sea region. The Baltic region is really unique through its intrinsic environment and distinguished geographical and social conditions. The climate of the temperate maritime-transitional belt has formed the mixed coniferous and deciduous stands of high productivity and biological diversity. The forest science has been influenced by the ideas both from the East and West.

Baltic Forestry publishes original research papers of the results both theoretical and experimental in the Baltics and elsewhere. Review papers and Brief research reports on topics of interest to a wide audience and Book reviews also are accepted.

Manuscript arrangement
General: It is recommended that the text of original research paper (Research Reports) should not normally be longer than 20 printed pages, including tables, illustrations, references and summary. The authors would aim to submit their work, as concisely as possible and longer papers will be accepted under exceptional circumstances. The Brief Reports and Chronicle will be published in addition to submission of the original research papers. The Brief Report may be up to 10 pages. The style should be the same as in original articles. These manuscripts will normally be published quickly after receipt of completed manuscripts. The editors may suggest that manuscripts will be resubmitted in this form. The Chronicle should include brief surveys of the different kind of scientific and respective events etc. The entire manuscript may be 1.5 spaced, leaving 3.0-cm margin at the left, 2.5 cm on top and bottom.

Number all pages in the upper right corner. The approximate position of the tables and figures should be indicated in the left-hand margin. Scientific names must be italized. The manuscripts should include:
• Title; • Author(s)name(s);• Address(es):department(s),institution(s), location(s),post code,country (use only English letters);• Abstract;• Key words;• Introduction;• Materials and methods;• Results;
• Discussion and conclusions;• Short acknowledgements (if you wish); •Summary in Russian (with key words);• References; • Illustrations; Legends for illustrations;Tables
Title: Title should be as brief as clarity permits (max. 50 characters). Authors' names and addresses of institutions are included below. The name of the correspondence author to whom all correspondence will be sent should be marked with *, and the electronic address and phone number should be indicated in the address.
Abstract: The text of an abstract should not exceed 350 words for original papers and 150 words for the Brief Reports. Problems, objectives, methods employed and main results should be stated. Do not include figures, tables, undefined abbreviations, equations and references in the abstract.
Key words: Key words refer to all relevant key words including those already in the title.
Text: Following headings should be used such as Introduction, Materials and methods, Results, Discussion and conclusions.
The Introduction should provide a general orientation of the subject of the article and present the reasons for and the main aims of the study. It should be concise. The Materials and methods must provide information enough to permit exact replication of the research. The methods should be described in details. The Results should be concise and as objective and descriptive as possible. Refer to the figures and tables as Figure and Table. All the references cited in the text should indicate the author's name followed by the year of publication in brackets. For more than two authors, the first author's name should be followed by 'et al'. If several references are cited together, they are arranged chronologically such as (Ellenberg et al. 1992, Kouki et al. 2001). If two or more documents have the same author and year, they are distinguished by lower-case letters (a, b, c, etc.), following the year and within the parentheses. For cited documents with no author, 'Anon' should be used. Where there are two authors, the ampersands should be avoided. Please use 'and' (Jensen and Hofmann 2002).
Common Latin abbreviations as e.g.(exempli gratia), i.e. (id est), etc. (et cetera), and other, are not italized. Latin words and phrases should be italized i.e. in situ, in vivo, in vitro etc.

The Discussion and conclusions should not repeat results and should be concisely written. These should point out the significance of the results.
References: List all references cited at the end of paper alphabetically according to the first author. Abbreviations of journal titles should be avoided

Tables: Tables, planned to fit a printed width of either 8 or 16 cm, should be typed on separate pages, and collected at the end of the text. Larger tables should be avoided. Their approximate position should be indicated in the margin. Tables should be numbered in Arabic numerals and furnished with explanatory headings. Vertical lines should not be used to separate each column. Leave some space between column instead. All explanations important to the understanding of the table should be given as a footnote at the bottom of the table.
Illustrations: Illustrations should be high-resolution, suitable for the direct reproduction and on a scale for reduction to half their original size. Authors should ensure that numerical and alphabetic notations are large enough to be fully legible after reduction (a suitable final size for lettering is 1-2 mm). Figures will be acceptable only from high-quality printers. Graphs should be made preferably by using Microsoft Graph or Excel (imported into WinWord). Figures should be planned to appear with a maximum final width of 8, 12 or 16 cm. Care should be taken to avoid inaccuracies. The figure number in Arabic numerals, author’s name and title of paper should be indicated in soft pencil on the back of sheet. List of legends should be on separate sheet.
