Membership of IUFRO is open to any institution concerned with the promotion, support or conduct of research related to forests, trees and forest products.
In accordance with the founding idea of IUFRO to support comparability of forest research data at the international level, the former subject group S4.04.00 "forest management and economics" started work on a dictionary of forest management in six languages which was published in 1990 as IUFRO World Series no. 1. About ten years ago the Working Party 4.04.07, later renamed to IUFRO Unit 4.04.03 SilvaPlan, adopted the task to provide definitions for the terms related in particular to forest management planning.
