Abstract
During the last decades, Swedish scientists have studied different aspects of willow forest growth. Some papers on radiation measurements, concerning methods of measurements (Perttu, 1970; Lindroth, Perttu, 1981) and light penetration in willow stand (Eckersten, 1984) have also been published.
