Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The study of the processes of ignition and combustion of woody biomass particles is a very important direction for the theory of combustion and is very important both from the point of view of applying the results of the study in real practice and from the standpoint of solving important problems of natural science. The latter is dictated by modern trends in the development of the energy sector, with the aim of the large-scale introduction of woody biomass into the overall balance of heat and power generation. Additionally, a deep understanding of the processes of ignition of wood will make it possible to predict forest fires with a high level of reliability and, accordingly, help to prevent them. However, despite extensive efforts in the development of this area of combustion theory, there are still many unsolved problems in the field of ignition and combustion of wood particles (for example, a unified theory of biomass pyrolysis and the combustion of thermal decomposition products has not yet been developed). This Special Issue is intended to provide an overview of the latest advances in thermal preparation, ignition and combustion of woody biomass under various thermal conditions. This Special Issue intends to provide selected materials that present advances in the science of woody biomass ignition.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- The ignition of wood particles;
- Processes of thermal preparation of wood for combustion (drying);
- Wood biomass pyrolysis processes;
- Forest fires (occurrence and fire extinguishing issues);
- Anthropogenic wood combustion products.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Forests is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
