Abstract

Plants have to cope with various stress factors such as environmental pollutants, mineral deficiencies, climate or parasite infection giving rise to the current phenomenon of “forest decline”. To assess the various impacts of these stress factors, complex biochemical procedures are mostly utilized demanding damage to the specimen and fairly high sample concentrations. In contrast to these, spectroscopic methods offer many advantages. They are fast, non-invasive, easy to perform, highly selective for specific plant pigments, and require only small samples.
