Natural Resources and Environmental Issues (NREI) ISSN 1069-5370, first published in 1993, is a monographic series that recognizes it's role in educating natural resources leaders who can then provide the guidance needed to increase the production of the earth's renewable resources while sustaining/enhancing the global environment. The journal is published in a series of volumes, each addressing a single topic and often associated with an organized symposium.
As our title suggests, NREI provides a forum for discussion of all aspects of natural resources and environmental issues. It is our goal to represent the wide range of topics and critical issues in land management and resource sustainability.
NREI, though not considered peer-reviewed*, is critically assessed and edited by the staff and faculty of the College of Natural Resources at Utah State University and the Quinney Natural Resources Research Library of Logan, Utah. It is published on an irregular basis and only once a year. Archived volumes are available for download or purchase from the Quinney Library website.
This is an open access journal which means that all content is freely available without charge to the user or his/her institution. Users are allowed to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of the articles in this journal without asking prior permission from the publisher or the author. This is in accordance with the BOAI definition of open access.
NREI is grateful to the S.J. and Jessie E. Quinney Foundation for its continuing enthusiasm and support.
