摘要

Fritz H. Schweingruber，树木年轮研究和木材解剖的先驱，于2020年1月7日去世，享年近84岁。弗里茨于1936年2月29日出生在克劳赫塔尔(瑞士伯尔尼州)。从1956年到1965年，他是一名小学教师和风琴手。虽然他喜欢教书，但他发现自己对植物学和考古学很好奇。这就是他后来杰出的科学生涯的开端。他进入伯尔尼大学学习植物学、动物学、地质学以及史前和早期历史。1972年，他在巴塞尔大学获得植物学博士学位，并于1976年被任命为教授。自1971年以来，Fritz一直在瑞士联邦森林、雪和景观研究所(瑞士伯门斯多夫)工作，在那里他建立了欧洲最早的树木年轮实验室之一，并发展成为世界上最大的年轮实验室之一。在对我们领域的持续贡献中，有200多篇期刊文章和39本书，其中包括(1)“树轮:《树木年代学基础与应用》(Schweingruber 1988)和《树木年轮与环境树木生态学》(Schweingruber 1996)是经典著作;(2)与英国和俄罗斯的同事建立的北半球350个地点的树木年轮密度数据网络，这是ITRDB的重要支柱;(3)全球独特的5000种乔木、灌木、草本和禾本科植物的解剖显微切片收集;(4) 1986年发起的“国际树木生态学实地考察周”，在此基础上，在世界范围内开展了一系列课程，如“欧洲树木生态学实地考察周”。(5)2001年开始的“木材解剖与树木年轮生态学”国际课程。在其他讣告中，对Fritz非凡生活中的这些里程碑和其他里程碑进行了更详细的总结(b ntgen等人2020,Crivellaro和Gärtner 2020, Urbinati等人2020)。WSL的同事和朋友以及科学界的人都认为Fritz是一个非常好奇、敬业和有魅力的人。下面是我们小组的一些深思熟虑的回忆，主要来自弗里茨作为我们研究小组退休成员的最后几年，说明了这一点。

In MemoriamFritz Hans Schweingruber 1936–2020

Fritz H. Schweingruber, pioneer of tree-ring research and wood anatomy, passed away on January 7, 2020, at the age of nearly 84. Fritz was born on February 29, 1936, in Krauchthal (Canton Bern, Switzerland). From 1956 to 1965, he was a primary school teacher and an organist. Although he liked teaching, he discovered his curiosity for botany and archaeology. This was the beginning of what turned out to be an outstanding scientific career. He enrolled at University of Bern and took classes in botany, zoology, geology and preand early history. In 1972, he obtained his doctorate in botany from the University of Basel, where he was appointed professor in 1976. Since 1971, Fritz was based at the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research WSL (Birmensdorf, Switzerland), where he established one of Europe’s first tree-ring labs, which developed into one of the largest worldwide. Among the lasting contributions to our field are more than 200 journal articles and 39 books, amongwhich include (1) “Tree Rings: Basics and Applications of Dendrochronology” (Schweingruber 1988) and “Tree Rings and Environment Dendroecology” (Schweingruber 1996), which are classics, (2) the northern hemispheric network of tree-ring density data from 350 sites established with colleagues from UK and Russia, which is an important backbone of the ITRDB, (3) a worldwide unique collection of anatomical microsections of 5000 tree, shrub, herb and graminoid species, (4) the “International Dendroecological Fieldweek” initiated in 1986, which inspired a number of courses worldwide such as the continuing “European Dendroecological Fieldweek”, and (5) the international course on “Wood Anatomy & Tree-Ring Ecology” running since 2001. These and further milestones of Fritz’ extraordinary life are summarized in more detail in other obituaries (Büntgen et al. 2020, Crivellaro and Gärtner 2020, Urbinati et al. 2020). Colleagues and friends at the WSL as well as in the scientific community experienced Fritz as a very curious, dedicated and charismatic person. The following thoughtful recollections from our group, mostly from Fritz’ last years as a retired member of our research group, illustrate this.

期刊介绍： Tree-Ring Research (TRR) is devoted to papers dealing with the growth rings of trees and the applications of tree-ring research in a wide variety of fields, including but not limited to archaeology, geology, ecology, hydrology, climatology, forestry, and botany. Papers involving research results, new techniques of data acquisition or analysis, and regional or subject-oriented reviews or syntheses are considered for publication. Scientific papers usually fall into two main categories. Articles should not exceed 5000 words, or approximately 20 double-spaced typewritten pages, including tables, references, and an abstract of 200 words or fewer. All manuscripts submitted as Articles are reviewed by at least two referees. Research Reports, which are usually reviewed by at least one outside referee, should not exceed 1500 words or include more than two figures. Research Reports address technical developments, describe well-documented but preliminary research results, or present findings for which the Article format is not appropriate. Book or monograph Reviews of 500 words or less are also considered. Other categories of papers are occasionally published. All papers are published only in English. Abstracts of the Articles or Reports may be printed in other languages if supplied by the author(s) with English translations.
