This review critically examines the role of boron (B) in forests in view of recent findings on B
nutrition and the continuing occurrence of B deficiency. Many perceptions about the role of B …

The dominant raw material for wood pellet production in Sweden is sawdust, planer
shavings and dry chips. However, other types of biomass, such as bark and logging …

We tested the hypothesis that the leaf area/sapwood area ratio in Scots pine (Pinus
sylvestris L.) is influenced by site differences in water vapor pressure deficit of the air (D) …

Woody biomass in Finland and Sweden comprises mainly four wood species: spruce, pine,
birch and aspen. To study the ash, which may cause problems for the combustion device …

Foliar light-saturated net assimilation rates (A) generally decrease with increasing tree
height (H) and tree age (Y), but it is unclear whether the decline in A is attributable to size …

Theoretical considerations based on nutrition experiments suggest that nutrient ratios of
terrestrial plants are similar to the Redfield ratio found in marine phytoplankton. Laboratory …

Stomatal density, anatomy and nutrient concentrations of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.)
needles were studied during 3 years of growth at elevated CO2 (693±30 µmol mol− 1), at …

Nutrient availability varies across climatic gradients, yet intraspecific adaptation across such
gradients in plant traits related to internal cycling and nutrient resorption remains poorly …

Abstract 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 …

Atmospheric inputs of nitrogen and sulphur were reduced to pre-industrial levels in a
nitrogen and sulphur saturated Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) and Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga …
