Comparative gas exchange measurements on spruce under clean air respectively site air for qualitative establishment of primary damage due to air pollutants.

Abstract

How harmful are gaseous air pollutants to the primary capability of spruces for producing plant tissue under natural site conditions? To elucidate this question, a pair of twigs in the summit area of a 70-year-old tree exhibiting the symptoms of `novel forest disease` were fumigated for four years without interruption with clean air and site air using completely air-conditioned gas exchange chambers. CO{sub 2} and vapour exchange including all climate data and air pollutant concentrations (SO{sub 2}, NO, NO{sub 2} and O{sub 3} as well as spot samples of airborne organic compounds) were recorded without interruption at intervals of four minutes. From the middle of the third year of the experiment, SO{sub 2} and O{sub 3} could be subsequently dosed according to the external air concentrations in order to make up for unavoidable losses in the measuring system. In addition it was possible by the end of the third year of the experiment to simultaneously expose the twigs inside the chambers to overhead irrigation with clean rainwater respectively rainwater from the site during precipitation events.

Ab Mitte des dritten Versuchsjahres war es moeglich SO{sub 2} und O{sub 3} im Nachlauf an die Aussenluftkonzentration nachzudosieren um die unvermeidlichen Verluste im Messsystem auszugleichen. Zusaetzlich konnten gegen Ende des dritten Versuchsjahres die Zweige im Innern der Kammern zeitgleich mit den aeusseren Niederschlaegen mit sauberem Regenwasser bzw. mit dem Regenwassers des Standortes beregnet werden.
