Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Non-timber forests is an important part of forest resources, integrating economy, ecology and social benefits. Although the theory and application of non-timber forest research have made great progress in recent years, there are still gaps in knowledge regarding many tree species during non-timber forest breeding and cultivation as well as processing technology. Increasing knowledge of non-timber forest is essential to promote the development of non-timber forest breeding, cultivation technology and utilization of target production of non-timber forest. Our aim for this Special Issue is to report better scientific research achievements and methods in the non-timber forest research field, providing a reference for other tree species, and it is aimed at making a contribution to the progress in the non-timber forest field. All studies relevant to the research on non-timber forest, including those that explore CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing and molecular design breeding, microbial soil fertility, and intelligent forestry as well as those that highlight efficiency cultivation and higher value addition of non-timber forest products technologies are welcome.
We invite submissions for a Special Issue of Forests on the subject of “Non-timber Forestry Breeding, Cultivation and Processing Technology”. Topics for submissions may include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Non-timber forest resource genetic diversity;
- Formation and regulation mechanism of non-timber forest important economic traits;
- Regulation mechanism of non-timber forest floral biology;
- Gene excavation and function by multi-omics;
- Gene editing and molecular design breeding;
- Non-timber forest cultivation;
- Non-timber forest products storage, quality formation and maintenance;
- Non-timber forest products processing and utilization.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
