IUFRO Series
IUFRO World Series - profound and far-reaching
AIM
The IUFRO World Series was launched in 1990. It was designed to give IUFRO officeholders a possibility to make their expertise known to a larger public. In most cases, reports resulting from IUFRO meetings, IUFRO Task Force reports or results from the work of IUFRO Special Projects and Programmes are published in this series. The main focus is on original research devoted to specific themes either in the form of collected articles or as single extensive contributions.
The IUFRO World Series do not undergo a peer review procedure, but are subject to quality control by IUFRO itself (internal review process involving Coordinators of IUFRO Divisions, Task Forces, Programmes or Projects). It is an IUFRO in-house publication and IUFRO HQ handles the distribution of the book unless otherwise agreed.
TARGET GROUPS
This publication aims at presenting topics of far-reaching importance to the international forest and forest-related community and to the IUFRO network.

Since 2005 this in-house publication is a pure electronic series, underlining its ambition of bringing forward IUFRO’s immediate contribution to important forest-related issues. Occasional Papers can be downloaded from the IUFRO Web.
TARGET GROUPS
