Simplicity explains the success
Open access was important to the researchers developing the 3PG model, adopted worldwide by both science and forestry. The simple and powerful tool to predict forest growth is awarded the 2020 Marcus Wallenberg Prize.

Professor Torgny Näsholm received the Marcus Wallenberg Prize 2018 for the discovery that pine, spruce, and other plants can take up different kinds of organic nitrogen from the soil. He has also developed sustainable fertilizers. Torgny Näsholm says that the success is a result of a great teamwork but we would not have succeeded without all the mistakes along the road.
Professor Torgny Näsholm mottog Marcus Wallenbergpriset 2018 för upptäckten att många växter tar upp olika former av organiskt kväve direkt ur marken. Han har även utvecklat en miljövänlig växtnäring. Torgny Näsholm säger att framgångarna är resultatet av ett fint lagarbete. Men hans forskargrupp har också varit i många återvändsgränder. – Vi hade inte lyckats utan alla misstag, säger han.
King Carl XVI Gustaf presented the 2018 Marcus Wallenberg Prize of SEK 2 million to Professor Torgny Näsholm at a ceremony in Stockholm, Sweden, Monday 24 September 2018. Torgny Näsholm has examined the role of amino acids in supplying the nitrogen required for the growth of forest trees. His work has caused a breakthrough in explaining the nutrition of plants.
Kung Carl XVI Gustaf överlämnade Marcus Wallenbergpriset 2018 på 2 miljoner kronor till professor Torgny Näsholm under en ceremoni i Stockholm måndag 24 september 2018. Torgny Näsholm, Sveriges Lantbruksuniversitet i Umeå, tilldelas priset för att ha visat hur skogsträd kan utnyttja organiska kväveföreningar i marken.
