Abstract

Results of a quantitative evaluation of the surface morphology of epicuticular waxes from spruces (Picea abies) are presented. Needles from spruce of varying exposition, age and genetic constitution show different degrees of melting and amount of epicuticular waxes. The effects of polluted air are investigated by means of open-top chamber experiments with clone spruces under controlled conditions. The influence of immissions on the surface morphology of the waxes is discussed.
