| Summary: | The RECOGNITION forestry project of the European Forest Institute examines the growth acceleration which has occurred in some forest ree species. The long-term changes in nutritional status were examined through studies of 21 Norway pine and 28 Scots pine stands in Central Europe and Scandinavia that act as control plots for fertilization studies. Over 15-40 years most Scotws pine stands in Central Europe initially experienced N deficiency, but this has improved greatly in the past 20 years, and is associated with higher ratios of N and P, K, Ca, and Mg. For Scots pines stands in this region, growth is expected, while in Scandinavia, N is not such a significant contrubutor to long-term growth. |
