Abstract

Beech seedlings (Fagus sylvatica L. provenance Vastra Torup) were grown in nutrient solution at low pH (4.2) and exposed to AlCl3 and different concentrations of nitrogen. The effects of AlCl3 and nitrogen on uptake of Ca2+ (45Ca) and H2PO4- (32P) in roots of intact beech were studied. Crossections of roots were analyzed with respect to element concentrations, by use of Mikro-PIXE (particle induced X-ray emission). The distribution of Al, Ca, P, Mg, K, and S was analysed. The experiments were designed to evaluate the effects of aluminium on localization of elements in plant root tissue.
