    Notes: Abstract Databases describing branch gas exchange ofPicea abies L. at two montane forest sites, Lägeren, Switzerland (National Forschungsprojekt 14 of the Schweizerische Nationalfonds) and Oberwarmensteinach, Germany (Bayerische Forschungsgruppe Forsttoxikologie), were analyzed in conjunction with a physiologically based model. Parameter estimates for describing carboxylase kinetics, electron transport, and stomatal function were derived, utilizing information from both single factor dependencies and diurnal time course measurements of gas exchange. Data subsets were used for testing the model at the branch level. Most of the observed variation in gas exchange characteristics can be explained with the model, while a number of systematic errors remain unexplained. Factors seen as contributing to the unexplained residual variation and not included in the model are light acclimation, degree of damage in adjustment to pollutant deposition, needle age, and cold stress effects. Nevertheless, a set of parameter values has been obtained for general application with spruce, e.g., for use in calculating canopy flux rates and to aid in planning of focused leaf and canopy level experiments. The value of the model for estimating fluxes between the forest and the atmosphere must be evaluated together with measurements at the stand level.

    Notes: Abstract Nitrogen (N) was added over two years to a spruce-dominated (Picea abies) montane forest at Alptal, central Switzerland. A solution of ammonium nitrate (NH4NO2) was frequently sprinkled on the forest floor (1500 m2) to simulate an additional input of 30 kg N ha-1 yr-1 over the ambient 12 kg bulk inorganic N deposition. The added nitrogen was labelled with 15NH4 15NO3 during the first year. Results are compared to a control plot. Neither the trees nor the ground vegetation showed any increase in their N content. Only 4.1% of N in the ground vegetation came from the N addition. Current-year needles contained 11 mg N g-1 dry weight, of which only 2% was from labelled N; older needles had approximately half as much 15N. The uptake from the treatment was therefore very small. Redistribution of N also took place in the trunks: 1 to 2-year-old wood contained 0.7% labelled N, tree rings dating back 3 to 14 years contained 0.4%. Altogether, the above-ground vegetation took up 12% of the labelled N. Most 15N was recovered in the soil: 13% in litter and roots, 63% in the sieved soil. Nitrate leaching accounted for 10%. Factors thought to be influencing N uptake are discussed in relation to plant use of N and soil conditions.
