Variation in needle nutrient concentrations in the crown of Scots pine on peatland.
Abstract
Variation in needle nutrient concentrations with age and vertical location in the crown was studied in three Scots pine ( L.) stands growing on peat soils in Eastern Finland. The concentrations of N, P, Fe and Zn decreased down the crown and those of Ca and Mn increased. Potassium and magnesium concentration patterns differed between sites.Pinus sylvestris
