IN MEMORY OF BURKHARD SATTELMACHER
Burkhard Sattelmacher was an inter-
nationally highly estimated scientist in
the area of plant mineral nutrition. He
contributed substantially to the scientific
excellence of Plant Nutrition especially
through his engagement within the
German Research foundation parti-
cularly through the initiation and
contribution to coordinated research
programmes and as a member of the
International Council for Plant Nutrition.
He was a stimulating teacher, mentor,
and colleague. He found research in
plant nutrition fascinating, and was able
to transmit that fascination to those around him. He died in November 2005
at the age of 58 after many months of courageous fighting against his
disease.
Born in Kiel he studied Botany at the Technical University of Berlin.
He got his PhD in Plant Nutrition at the same University under the
guidance of Horst Marschner. Deeply concerned about poverty alleviation
through plant-production research he continued his work on the physiology
of potato for 4 years as a post doc at the International Potato Center (CIP),
Lima, Peru. This and follow-up research in Hohenheim represented the
basis for his habilitation at the University of Hohenheim in 1986. In 1985
he accepted the call as professor for Plant Nutrition in Kiel. Since 1992 he
was head and chairholder of Plant Nutrition at the Institute of Plant
Nutrition and Soil Science, Faculty of Agricultural and Nutritional
Sciences, University of Kiel.
In the centre of the scientific interest of Burkhard Sattelmacher was the
physiology of crops. He was convinced that its basic understanding is a
prerequisite for solving practical problems related to crop management. In
the early nineties Burkhard Sattelmacher developed a research area on
nutrient fluxes in agricultural land-use systems comparing conventional and
“biological” plant-production systems. Over 9 years he participated in a
German Research Foundation (DFG)-funded Special Research Project with
research projects on root turn-over, N uptake 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.
v
vi In Memory of Burkhard Sattelmacher

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.
