The title should be brief and where possible begin with a word suitable for indexing.
The summary should follow immediately after the author’s address and should concisely describe the nature of the work, the principal results and conclusions. It should normally not exceed 5% of the length of the paper and should be suitable for reproduction by abstracting journals. If possible provide several keywords drawn from the CAB thesaurus; if this is not available it will be helpful to look at the keywords assigned to similar articles in Forestry Abstracts.
Authors should follow the pattern of presentation used in this issue. Tables and figures should be numbered with Arabic numerals. Photographs should be identified as figures, and numbered in a single sequence with line drawings. Photographic prints should be of high quality on full gloss paper, with a full range of tones and good contrast. Digital or scanned photograph files should have resolution of 300 pixels per inch when one dimension is 10 cm. The preferred placement of tables and figures in the text should be marked with, e.g., ‘Figure 1 near here� Actual tables and figures should be gathered at the end of the paper.
Please use the Editorial Guidelines in MS Word or as a PDF.
Graphical material may be submitted in two forms: computer-generated graphics or line drawings. Diagrams such as maps should be provided in postscript (ps) or encapsulated postscript (eps) format if possible. Printed copies of the diagrams should be camera ready, with labels applied at an appropriate size, printed by high quality (e.g. laser) printer. Line drawings should be prepared in ink on drafting film or high quality white paper or card. Line drawings should be labelled by suitable adhesive or stencilled characters. Note that most figures (including all labels) will be printed within a single column width. Please take account of this in the preparation of original drawings.
References should be cited in the text by author and year of publication. Three or more authors should be referred to by the senior author et al. The reference list should cite the full title of the publication. Please follow the style used in recent issues of this journal.
