A difficult set of questions. Some legitimate journals require a publishing fee, so that alone is not always a factor. The journal ranking systems also do not list all legitimate journals, so that alone is also not a factor. If there is no editorial board, that might suggest the answer you seek. Also, if you took the effort to (mistakenly) publish in one of these journals, there may not be much you can do - the paper has been published, and most journals require that you guarantee your work has not been published elsewhere.
The best is to consult with SCIMAGOJR to find the most prominent forestry journals.
