The data included in this publication were obtained as part of a comparative study of the metabolism of one-, two-, and three-year-old needles and sapwood plugs of Norway spruce (Picea abies [L.] Karst) collected from six forested sites in the Krušné Hory (Ore) and Slavok Forest Mountain Ranges in northern Czech Republic. All samples were collected from September 21-24, 2004. Foliage and sapwood plugs were collected from 15 randomly selected Norway spruce from 30 x 30 meter plots previously established in Černý Potok, Kovářská, Načetín, and Přebuz in Krušné Hory, and Pluhův bor and Lysina catchments in the Slavkov Forest. Together these sites represent a historic pollution gradient. Foliar and sapwood data include free polyamines, free amino acids, soluble ions, chlorophyll, and soluble protein analyzed by HPLC, ICP-OES and spectrophotometer. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of air pollution on the metabolism of foliage and sapwood of Norway spruce growing in northern Czech Republic.
