Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wood is gaining recognition as a sustainable building material because it is a natural and renewable resource and has low carbon impact and low embodied energy. There have been significant advancements made in recent years regarding the application of mathematical models in wood processing, such as for the allocation of resources, wood drying, process optimization, and the design of engineered wood products. Mathematical models are helping to optimize wood processes, reducing the need for costly experiments. This Special Issue explores mathematical modeling in wood processing, and addresses the following topics:
- Drying processes;
- Heat and mass transfer;
- Treatment;
- Assessing forest value;
- Enhancing sawing process;
- Reducing energy use;
- Improving product design and testing;
- Maintaining quality and reducing waste;
- Streamlining wood grading.

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.
