Abstract

Air pollutants (O3, SO2, NOx) may affect the metabolic activity of leaves or needles, and organelles of plants, directly or indirectly by soil acidification and nutrient imbalance in particular in conifers: Many of publications refer to this phenomenon (e.g. Ulrich and Matzner, 1983; Ulrich et al., 1984; Lange et al., 1985; Schulze et al., 1989; Führer et al., 1993; Heber et al., 1994; other quotations ibid.). This were mainly short-term fumigation experiments, which could be used to detect causal biochemical mechanisms (Norby et al., 1989 regarding NO2; Pfanz and Heber, 1986 regarding SO2; Wallin and Skärby, 1992 regarding ozone; Heber et al., 1994 regarding interactions). In contrast to this, long-term investigations focusing on the pollutant concentrations as they normally occur in the field were conducted in rare cases only (Schulze et al., 1987; Keller and Hässler, 1986; Führer et al., 1993).
