Abstract In sites at Solling and Wingst in Lower Saxony, the budgets of a number of heavy metals were calculated, and an attempt was made to assess the effects of the heavy metals determined in forest sites on root growth of Picea abies (L.) Karst.. The levels of heavy metals found in the soil and soil water as well as the levels of heavy metals in the fine roots, were compared with heavy metal contents in roots and heavy metal levels in the nutrient solution shown to inhibit root growth of spruce seedlings. Based on this comparison a high level of risk to tree vitality was indicated for Pb, and a risk for Cd.
