Nutrient retranslocation within the foliage of Pinus sylvestris
1992
Helmisaari, H.S.
During the period 1983-1987, retranslocation of N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Mn, Zn, Fe, B and Al within the foliage of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) was studied in sapling, pole-stage and mature stands in eastern Finland. Needle concentrations of the mobile nutrients N, P, and K varied seasonally because of retranslocation. In unfertilized plots, needle contents of N, P, and K decreased 62-92% during senescence and needle dry weight decreased 19-51%. In some years, needle contents of Ca, Mn, Zn, Fe, B and Al increased during senescence. Retranslocation was more efficient from needles with greater dry weight. In the fertilized, pole-stage stand, needle dry weight did not decrease at senescence four years after fertilization and nutrient content decreased less than in the other years. In the mature stand there were no clear differences in needle dry weight and nutrient changes during senescence between years or between unfertilized and fertilized plots.
