Direct and Indirect effects of Air Pollution on Forest Ecosystems: the Attempt of a Resume of Scientific Investigations Carried out in Nortrhine-Westphalia/FRG during the last Decade
1993
Prinz, B. (Landesansalt fuer Immissionsschutz, Essen (Germany))
Since the beginning of the 80's, a wide-spread damage to Norway spruce has occurred, mainly characterized by the light-induced decay of chlorophyll in magnesium-deficient needles. Damage also occurs in deciduous trees, especially in beech. To clarify the causes of the damage in Northrine-Wesphalian forests, extensive investigations have been carried out, which combined experimental techniques and epidemiologically orientated surveys.

1993
Hildebrand, E.E. (Forest Research Institute Banden-Wuerttemberg, Freiburg (Germany))
Deposition rates in Baden-Wuerttemberg, which are monitored by sampling grid, mostly exceed critical loads. This applies especially for nitrogen input and the deposition of total acidity. In a periodic inventory of tree nutrition on a basic grid of 4 km, regions abundant and persistent Mg and K deficiency could be identified.
