Description:
The mineral contents of vegetative buds and needles collected from young plants and old trees of Piceaabies (L.) Karst. were determined. It was found that the contents of Cl, K, and Na were significantly higher in buds from old trees than in buds from young plants. Since the Na concentration increased more with age than the K concentration, the K:Na ratio decreased with age. In addition, dry weight was significantly higher in buds from old trees than in buds from young plants. Similar age-dependent differences could not be observed in the needle tissue.
