Abstract

Throughfall has been sampled in SW Sweden from 60 to 80 yr old Norway spruce (Picea abies) of two stands with different crown thinning classes, representing healthy reference trees and injured trees. the condition of the canopy had a significant influence on quantity and quality of deposition to the forest floor. Annual throughfall deposition from injured spruce showed an increase in glucose 270%, total sugar 80%, organic carbon (DOC) 40%, organic N 50%, Mg 100%, Ca 30%, and Fe 40% while Mn and K deposition decreased 30% and 20%, respectively, compared to annual throughfall deposition from healthy spruce.
