Notes on Swedish Forest Biogeochemistry – Investigations During 50 Years
This paper gives an overview of biogeochemical investigations performed in forests by the author during more than 50 years - from the start of the academic carrier up to the present day. An interesting feature is that old investigations have been published again with addition of new data. Some results are presented in a short way illustrating tools for integration and synthesis, such as carbon budgets of single trees as well as whole forest ecosystem. The value of long-term observations is discussed as well as the emergence of a new science, ecosystem ecology.
