The late Sören Wibe, professor of forest economics at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, founded the Journal in 1995. He found a lack in the field of professional journals that focused on forest economics. More than 300 papers have been published between 1995 and 2011 and the citations are more than five per paper. The average paper has roughly 1.5 authors and the journal has a steadily increasing impact factor.
