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 ŃDocumentation on Forest Damage Factorsń. 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.
