Forest Phytophthoras

Plant pathogens in the genus Phytophthora threaten the biodiversity and sustainability of forest ecosystems worldwide. The overall aim of this journal is to provide science-based information to aid in the understanding and management of the world’s forest Phytophthora species. While newly emerging, damaging species are the highest priority, information on other Phytophthoras is included in an attempt to gradually elucidate Phytophthoras’ diverse roles in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.

Forest Phytophthoras is an open access, peer-reviewed, online journal. This journal provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge. Published articles are permanently archived with a unique digital object identifier (doi).

Species profiles will also be accessible via the Forest Phytophthoras of the World website.
