Overview

Arboriculture & Urban Forestry (AUF) is published bimonthly by the International Society of Arboriculture, a worldwide professional organization dedicated to fostering a greater appreciation for trees and to promoting research, technology, and the professional practice of arboriculture and urban forestry. AUF exists in order to provide science-based information that promotes and encourages the interchange of ideas among scientists, educators, and professionals working in arboriculture, urban forestry, and related disciplines.

 

Aims and Scope

The journal welcomes reports of original research, reviews, and analyses that advance the professions of arboriculture and urban forestry. Subjects appropriate for submission include, among others, tree biology and physiology, entomology, pathology, horticulture, biomechanics, risk management, soil science, inventory and assessment, urban forest functions and benefits, governance planning and management of urban forests, and utility forestry.

To be considered for publication, manuscripts must make a significant contribution to the advancement of knowledge and practice of arboriculture and urban forestry and have broad applicability and interest to an international audience. Contributions will be considered in the following categories:

  • Original Articles
    Original fundamental or applied research that contributes to the scientific foundations that support the disciplines of arboriculture and urban forestry.
  • Review Articles
    Literature reviews or syntheses of previous work that identify trends, designate areas for new work and/or theory development, and/or compare competing theories.
  • Short Communications
    Appropriate for original research investigations that report preliminary or novel results on limited data sets, for analysis of procedures, equipment, or management systems that will lead to the improvement of best management practices, and for the introduction of novel theoretical perspectives.
  • Editorials
    Brief opinion pieces from leaders in the arboricultural field that provide state-of-the-art assessments, perspectives on key topics, or relate to and provide context for a manuscript in the same issue of the journal. Editorials that accompany other published articles are solicited only.
