Following the objective to provide an overview on the spatial and temporal variation in forest condition on a European scale, an extensive systematic survey on more than 6000 so called Level I plots throughout Europe is carried out. Results show a recuparation of crown condition in the mid nineties and a resuming deterioration with nearly a quarter of the sample trees classified as damaged in 2001. Results of statistical evaluations explain the observed variation mainly by weather extremes, insects, fungi and indirect effects of air pollutants via soil acidification or changes in the nutritional status of trees

In the North Tyrolean Limestone Alps a site was investigated over a four-year period (1998-2001) in order to assess the nitrogen saturation status, the nitrogen budget (quantification of the net uptake of nitrogen by the canopy and of the nitrogen mineralization, nitrogen uptake from roots and N2O emission rates, proof of the origin of nitrate in the soil water with stable isotope analyses, and the effects of the actual nitrogen input on ground water quality. The main goals were to quantify the nitrogen input rate, the nitrogen pools in above-ground and below-ground compartments, nitrogen turnover processes in the soil as well as the output into the groundwater and into the atmosphere. The findings are based on continuous and discontinuous field measurements as well as on model results
Afficher plus [+] Moins [-]Growth responses of two silver birch clones to elevated CO2 and O3 during three years of exposure in OTCs

Atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) and ozone (O3) are increasing by 1-2% per year and are expected to double by the year 2100 compared to the end of the last millennium. Carbon dioxide at twice the current atmospheric concentrations has the potential to increase the productivity of forest trees while increasing ozone is expected to cause significant reductions in growth. The present study was undertaken to investigate the effects of CO2 and O3, singly or in combination, on growth and allocation of two European silver birch (Betula pendula Roth) clones under field conditions to verify the future predicitons in regard to silver birch. Our data show that growth of clone 80 was benefitted by ambient CO2 singly and in combination with ambient O3. Clone 4 was more responsive to ambient O3 than clone 80 which is opposite to results from previous pot experiments with these clones
