The effect of mixtures of air pollutants (SO2, NO2, O3) on phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPCase; EC 4.1.1.31) activities from needles of four-year-old Norway spruce (Picea abies [L.] Karst.) in closed fumigation chambers were analyzed. Three months exposure to high concentrations of O3 (1030 µg/m3) together with SO2 (1030 µg/m3) or NO2 (615 µg/m3) resulted in a dramatic increase in PEPCase activities

Uptake Of Nutrients

Mineral nutrition represents the uptake, transport, metabolism and utilization of nutrients by the forest stand. These processes influence all physiological functions of trees. A specific minimum amount of all nutrients is necessary for the healthy development and growth of forest trees. The uptake of nutrients is influenced not only by natural conditions but also by anthropogenic activities. During the period of 2000–2005 the mineral nutrition of mountain Norway spruce stands was studied at the study site Bílý Kříž (Moravian-Silesian Beskids Mts., Czech Republic). Research was carried out in a spruce stand that was limed in the past years (in 1983, 1985 and 1987) and in a spruce stand that was not limed in order to compare the liming effect on the mineral nutrition of spruce stands. A positive liming effect was detected in the calcium, magnesium and phosphorus nutrition because their contents in current needles were higher on the limed plots. No liming effect was determined in the nitrogen, potassium and microelement (Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, Al) content in current needles. Sufficient nutrition of spruce stands only with calcium was recorded on all studied plots.

Nutrient Solutions

Norway spruce (Piceaabies) (L.) Karst.) seedlings were grown in nutrient solutions containing 334, 664, or 1000 μmol•dm−3 nitrate in the presence or absence of 500 μmol•dm−3 aluminium. Over 7 days the rate of root elongation was severely reduced by Al, irrespective of the NO3 concentration. Root elongation was inhibited within 12 h of exposure and this was associated with a displacement of Ca and Mg by Al in the roots. After 35 days, Al significantly reduced Mg and Ca contents of roots and needles. This effect was independent of the NO3 supply. Root growth was stimulated at 1000 μmol•dm−3 NO3 compared with 664 and 334 μmol•dm−3 NO3. This stimulation was inhibited by 500 μmol•dm−3 Al. The results show that spruce seedlings are sensitive to Al, and that NO3 does not modify the toxicity of Al.

Increased Susceptibility

The condition was evaluated of tissues of declining young spruce stands in selected localities of the Orlick&eacute; hory Mts. It refers to stands occurring in top parts affected by an air pollution disaster in the last century. Several types of damage of a different symptomatic character were distinguished. A high NO<sub>x</sub>&nbsp;input appears to be the risk factor of spruce dieback in the Orlick&eacute; hory Mts. One of the main causes in the complex of factors is the unbalanced cause of meteorological factors during the year and unbalance in mineral nutrition. The result is decrease in lignification, immaturity of tissues before the winter period and increased susceptibility of damaged tissues to parasites. Several potentially pathogenic species of micromycetes have been identified which can be considered to be significant pathogenic agents in case of declining spruce in the Orlick&eacute; hory Mts., however, not a main cause. &nbsp;
