The European Journal of Forest Research is an international scientific Journal that intends to contribute to a holistic understanding of the principles governing forest ecosystems, as well as their functions and services for society. The journal thus covers a broad range of subjects, from natural sciences to socio-economics, which are represented by a board of subject editors with different fields of expertise (see section ‘Editorial Board’). Irrespective of their specific field, articles published in this journal always provide generalizable knowledge that goes beyond pure description.Ernst Assmann belonged to the most influential German forest scientists in the 20st century. His systemic and scale-overarching scientific approach towards forest dynamics triggered a wealth of research lines that continue up to the present day. In honor of this outstanding researcher, the European Journal of Forest Research initiates the series of Ernst Assmann Reviews on Production Ecology and Quantitative Silviculture.

《歐洲森林研究期刊》是一份國(guó)際科學(xué)期刊，旨在全面了解支配森林生態(tài)系統(tǒng)的原則及其對(duì)社會(huì)的作用和服務(wù)。因此，該雜志涵蓋廣泛的學(xué)科，從自然科學(xué)到社會(huì)經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)，由具有不同專(zhuān)業(yè)領(lǐng)域的學(xué)科編輯委員會(huì)代表(見(jiàn)“編輯委員會(huì)”一節(jié))。無(wú)論其具體領(lǐng)域如何，本刊發(fā)表的文章總是提供超越純描述的可概括的知識(shí)。恩斯特·阿斯曼是20世紀(jì)最有影響力的德國(guó)森林科學(xué)家之一。他對(duì)森林動(dòng)態(tài)的系統(tǒng)和全面的科學(xué)方法引發(fā)了大量的研究，一直持續(xù)到今天。為了紀(jì)念這位杰出的研究人員，《歐洲森林研究雜志》發(fā)起了恩斯特·阿斯曼關(guān)于生產(chǎn)生態(tài)學(xué)和定量造林的系列評(píng)論。
