There also exists an international association of forest experiment stations.
In the _magazine_ literature, the Cameralists dominated until the eighteenth century. The first journal edited by a forester was _Reitter’s_ “_Journal für Forst- und Jagdwesen_” which ran from 1790 to 1797. During the first part of the century many others were started, especially after 1820, usually failing soon for lack of support. Hartig himself participated in this literature with five volumes (until 1807) of the _Journal des Forst-, Jagd- und Fischereiwesens_ and later (1816 to 1820) with the semi-official journal _Forst- und Jagdarchiv_. Pfeil’s _Kritische Blätter_ were continued by him from 1823 to 1859, when Nördlinger had the editorship till 1870. An irregular publication of much note was Burkhardt’s “_Aus dem Walde_” (1865-1881).
Some of the journals founded in earlier times have continued, with changes in title and editorships, to the present day. Of these, it is proper to mention as the oldest, “_Allgemeine Forst- und Jagdzeitung_”, founded by v. Behlen, 1825, later conducted by G. Heyer; “_Forstwissenschaftliches Centralblatt_” (1828); “_Zeitschrift für Forst- und Jagdwesen_” founded in 1869 by Dankelmann; “_Forstliche Blätter_” founded 1861 by Grunert, continued by Borggreve until 1890. The _Tharandter Forstliche Jahrbücher_ were begun in 1842, and the _Mündener Forstliche Hefte_ in 1892. In 1893, the _Forstlich-naturwissenschaftliche Zeitschrift_ was established to discuss mainly the biological basis of forestry (changed in 1903 to _Naturwissenschaftliche Zeitschrift für Land- und Forstwesen_).
For the lower grades there has been published, since 1872, _Zeitschrift der deutschen Forstbeamten_. Several lumber trade journals also discuss forestry matters. A weekly journal, _Silva_ was begun in 1908.
To assist in keeping track of the historic and scientific development of the art, an annual summary of magazine literature is being published. The first effort in this direction was made in 1876 by Bernhardt’s _Chronik des deutschen Forstwesens_, which was continued for several years, but is now supplanted by _Jahresbericht über die Leistungen und Fortschritte der Forstwirthschaft_ (since 1880).
