The Editorial Board of the journal Proceedings of SPbFRI an open full-text access to selected articles, devoted to the problem of climate change

The journal Proceedings of the St. Petersburg Forestry Research Institute has been published since 1929 and presents an independent peer-reviewed scientific publication, which is intended for presentation of the original research results in the field of forestry, biological and economic sciences by researchers and professionals.

The journal covers the following areas of scientific knowledge: forestry and silviculture, forest inventory and forest management, forest cultures, genetics, selection and biotechnology, theory and practice of forest conservation and protection, biological basis of forest management, economy, strategic planning and management in forestry. In recent years, the journal publishes a significant number of articles on various aspects of forest management in the context of climate change.

Within the framework of the events of the All-Russian Week of Climate, the journal editorial board prepared a special compilation of articles published in the magazine since 2012 and reflecting the results of original scientific research on various aspects of the climate change problem, and also provided free access to the texts.

Since the activities of the climate week were aimed primarily at public awareness and attention to the problem of global climate change, the publication of research results of leading scientific teams will help to inform the scientific community and a wide range of readers about the latest scientific achievements in this field, undertaken and planned measures, as well as the results achieved.
