摘要：Forstschutz Aktuell is celebrating its 20th Anniversary:
Prof. Edwin Donaubauer, then Head of the Department
of Forest Protection of the Federal Forest
Research Centre, FBVA (now BFW), had the idea to
offer a journal that provides concise and timely information
to forest practitioners. He could win Christian
Tomiczek, Hannes Krehan from the Department of
Forest Protection and Wilhelm Krenmayer from the
ICT-Services to his plan and so the first issue could be
published in June 1989.
This new publication medium has been designed as
an information brochure to be published four times a
year. The aim was to provide in a nutshell new and
relevant information on current topics, related
especially to results from forest research.
In the past 20 years, a total of 400 articles were published
in 47 issues while the number of authors has
meanwhile exceeded by far the 100 person mark. Each
year two to three issues and a special edition are dedicated
to the topic “Documentation on Forest Damage
Factors”. The external authors come from a wide range
of different institutions such as the University of Natural
Resources and Applied Life Sciences (BOKU), the
forest authorities of the Federal Provinces and Chambers,
international forest research centres, universities
and plant health organisations. The Editors welcome a
variety of approaches from different people. We thank
all guest authors who contributed articles thus making
it possible to cover a wide range of subjects.
