Preface
The idea for this book publication came from a previous publication in Ecological Studies (Sandermann et al. 1997). In that book it was stated that the best way to study forest decline, or forest ecosystems generally, is to work along an experimental hierarchy where the plant is treated as an individual, as part of its microenvironment and finally as part of an ecosystem. One method of ecological research therefore is to scale up from the individual plant to the ecosystem by studying organismic ecophysiology and ecosystem flows. This approach is taken in several volumes ofEcological Studies.A second approach (the one taken here) is to concentrate on early plant responses and s
