About the Journal

Welcome to the Green Forest Engineering Journal (GFEJ), an international peer-reviewed biannual publication available in January and July. GFEJ is proudly presented by LPPM ITERA Publisher in collaboration with the Forestry Engineering Department, Faculty of Industrial Technology at Institut Teknologi Sumatera. Our journal is a platform dedicated to fostering the exchange of high-quality research articles in the realm of forestry and natural resources engineering, with a specific focus on forest management, wood sciences and technology, silviculture, and forest conservation. 

Key Features: 

  • Global Perspective: GFEJ welcomes contributions from researchers worldwide, providing a global outlook on sustainable forest engineering. 
  • Biannual Publication: Our journal releases new issues every January and July, ensuring timely dissemination of cutting-edge research. 
  • Open Access Commitment: Committed to advancing science and technology, GFEJ follows an open-access policy. This means that all published articles are freely accessible online without subscription, promoting widespread dissemination of knowledge. 

Starting from January 2024, each publication will contain 5 (five) research/review articles published online. These articles are indexed by SINTA and Google Scholar.

Focus and Scope 

Sustainable Forest Management: 

Sustainable forest management involves practices aimed at maintaining the long-term health and vitality of forests. This includes the conservation of biodiversity within forest ecosystems and ongoing monitoring and evaluation to ensure the sustainability of forest management practices. 

Eco-Friendly Sylviculture: 

Eco-friendly silviculture focuses on innovative techniques that promote environmentally friendly forestry practices. Research in this field explores sustainable planting patterns and the development of silvicultural practices that enhance productivity while ensuring long-term sustainability. 

Forest Conservation and Restoration: 

Efforts in forest conservation and restoration are directed towards preserving forested lands and restoring ecosystems. Research in this area investigates the impact of deforestation, evaluates policies for ecosystem restoration, and promotes conservation practices to protect endangered species. 

Green Timber Technology: 

Green timber technology encompasses the development of environmentally sustainable wood processing technologies. This includes innovations in the production and utilization of sustainable wood products, as well as the evaluation of environmental impacts associated with the forestry industry. 

Climate-Resilient Forest Engineering: 

Climate-resilient Forest engineering involves adapting planning and engineering practices in response to climate change. Research in this field addresses the mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions in the forestry sector and promotes engineering practices that enhance resilience to climate change. 

Biomaterials from Sustainable Forests: 

The production of biomaterials from sustainable forests involves the development of biomass-based materials. This includes utilizing forest waste for the creation of biomaterial products and studying the properties and applications of sustainable biomaterial products. 

Green Forestry Innovation: 

Innovation in green forestry focuses on the development of technologies and engineering techniques that prioritize sustainability. This encompasses the creation of new tools and methods to enhance sustainability, as well as studies on the implementation of green technologies within the forestry sector.
