particularly from manure, ammonia and dinitrogen-oxide emission in a winter rape-seed winter-barley rotation. He extended his interest to the nutrient budgets of natural ecosystems in the ecosystem research programme Bornhöveder Seenkette. Among the research projects he initiated during the last years were particularly two to which he devoted his full force until the last days of his life: the DFG Special Research Programme 'The apoplast of higher plants: compartment of storage, transport, and reactions' and the DFG Research Group 'Matter fluxes in grasslands of Inner Mongolia as influenced by stocking rate'. Burkhard Sattelmacher always maintained an interest in new developments in agronomy, botany, and soil science. He especially enjoyed discussing ideas with colleagues and students. He was highly estimated as a referee for scientific journals, as well as for funding agencies not only because of his wide knowledge and experience, but because his interest was in the progress of science, without personal bias.We have lost in Burkhard Sattelmacher an extraordinary person, teacher, scientist, and colleague. We will miss his stimulating contributions to scientific progress. The co-editor and the authors dedicate this book summarising the main achievement of the special research programme 'Apoplast' which he initiated and of which he was the speaker. Unfortunately, he did not have the pleasure to finish this book himself.Walter Horst
