Novelties in Wood Engineering and Forestry

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue will deal with the forestry and wood processing aspects. In particular, in the field of forestry, the Special Issue invites research on genetics, forest roads, biomass, and main and byproducts of forests, log exploitation, primary processing of round wood, quality of exploited, wood and the role of forest and forest ecosystem on the environment. Regarding the wood processing part, this Special Issue will receive works on cutting round wood in timber and veneers, wood processing to obtain furniture, parquet, doors and windows, wood biomass including briquettes and pellets, thermochemical treatments of wood, antique wood, finishing processes, restoration activities of cultural heritage objects, and wood-based composites.
