Opis

The importance of magnesium in the element cycling of forest ecosystems has only been fully recognized since the widespread symptoms of forest magnesium deficiency were identified to be a major component in the damage phenomena. The intensive research during the last 15 years revealed not only details on the role of magnesium as a nutrient in forest ecosystems, but led also to a more comprehensive understanding of these ecosystems themselves and their functioning.
