Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of MDPI's journal Forests, titled 'Strategic Forest-Based Sector Planning and Management in the Era of Bioeconomy', is designed to explore transformative strategies and innovative management practices within the forest-based sector that align with the principles and objectives of the bioeconomy. This issue aims to bridge the gap between traditional management approaches in forestry and forest-based industries and the evolving need for the implementation of a bioeconomy as a contemporary tool in climate change mitigation, focusing on the efficiency, sustainability, and resilience of the forest-based sector along the wood supply chain. We welcome contributions from a wide range of disciplines, including forestry, economics, environmental science, policy studies, and technology, offering a comprehensive view of the forest sector's role in the burgeoning bioeconomy.
The scope of this Special Issue is broad, encompassing a range of topics that reflect the dynamic and multifaceted nature of forest-based sector planning and management in the context of the bioeconomy. It will include, but is not limited to, the following key areas:
- Efficiency analysis in the forest-based sector;
- Sustainable forest industry production;
- Forest policy and bioeconomy;
- Technological innovations and the digital forest-based sector;
- Forest-based sector economics and market dynamics;
- Socio-economic and environmental impact assessments;
- Case studies and regional perspectives.
