“Carl Olof Tamm (1919–2007) made major contributions to forest ecology, forest production ecology, and soil science during his long scientific career. He came from a noble family with roots from Sachsen (Germany) and with ancestors having had a large influence in Sweden as ministers, members of the parliament, government officials, businessmen, and scientists. His father, Olof Tamm (1891–1973), was a professor of Soil Science at the Royal College of Forestry in Stockholm. During the summers young Carl Olof Selleckchem Volasertib followed his father to

the experimental forests around Vindeln (700 km north of Stockholm), where his father conducted field work along with colleagues like the prominent Swedish forest ecologists Henrik Hesselman, Lars-Gunnar Romell, and Carl Malmström. According to Carl Olof, his father did not encourage him to go into science. However, he followed his own strong interest in natural sciences and acquired an MSc in Stockholm (1944), a licenciate degree in Lund

(1949), and finally a PhD in Stockholm (1953). Unfortunately, he suffered from polio, which affected him from the mid-1940s. This did not hinder his scientific career, but restricted the speed at which he walked through the forests. Shortly after his PhD Carl Olof became a professor in Botany and Soil Science at the Forest Research Institute in Stockholm (1957–1962), after which he joined the Royal College of Forestry as its first professor in Forest Ecology (1962). In fact, this was the first professorship ADAMTS5 in Sweden with the denotation “ecology” (Söderqvist, 1986). This position was moved in 1977 to the Faculty of Forest Sciences when the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences was formed by amalgamating the Colleges of Forestry, Agriculture, and Veterinary Medicine. Carl Olof held this position until his formal retirement in 1984. Carl Olof was then succeeded by Sune Linder, who in turn was followed by Torgny Näsholm in 2008. The formal retirement of Carl Olof released him from administrative duties and allowed him to engage more in science.
