Abstract
We combine the results obtained in the previous chapters to create our physical and physiological theory of forest ecology. This is possible since the cover theory provided common ideas, concepts and methodology for the specific theories. Our theory gained strong corroboration in the tests dealing with different phenomena from metabolism to ecosystem development.
