Databases can be accessed through these links, or from VIU Library's A-Z Databases page.
The following list provides examples of keywords that can be used to search for journal articles on forestry topics in the databases listed on this page.
If you search in an individual database, you should combine your search terms/keyword, using an ‘and’ between each keyword.
For example: "forest management" and "british columbia", forestry and biodiversity, etc.
Note: Use the symbol * to search a keyword with various endings. For example, searching: forest* will search for: forest, forests, forestry.
Note: Enclose search terms/keywords having two or more words, in quotation marks to search for that concept e.g. "forest ecology".
