Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The economic impact of forestry biomass is significant. Food, feed, fiber, and a broad variety of necessities including housing, packaging, clothing, and communications are all provided by the agriculture and forestry businesses. However, forestry biomass may also be used as a source of a wide range of chemicals, minerals, fuels, and energy. The renewable energies movement was prompted by two important factors: (a) growing world energy consumption and (b) the abundance of generated biomass residues, especially in forests. Because it has a high concentration of carbon, forestry biomass has the potential to serve as a replacement material in a variety of contexts. When used for these kinds of applications, biomass often begins with the carbonization process, which involves eliminating other components from the structure in order to concentrate the carbon. Researchers are concentrating their efforts mostly on biomass as a source of activated carbon, owing to its relatively low cost. When biomass is processed into a substance analogous to graphene or graphite, this enables it to be utilized as a source of clean energy in the production of goods that have added value, such as electrodes in tteries, solar cells, fuel cells, and other such applications. The residue generated as a result of human actions in forests may be put to use in a variety of technical endeavors that are founded on environmentally responsible principles. This Special Issue welcomes full papers, short communications, and review articles highlighting aspects of the current trends in the development and application of renewable chemicals from forestry biomass and waste.

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.
