It was ascertained that the content of soluble sugars, starch and ratios between different forms of carbohydrates varied in the trees growing in areas affected by industrial production in Kohtla-Jaerve and Kunda.

In the studied areas a strong relationship between the content of soluble sugars and N, Mg and K was observed in the needles of Norway spruce
