Description

Unground spruce needle samples taken 2017-10-30 in the nutrient optimisation experiment 1477 Flakaliden. The samples are pooled samples consisting of C+1-needles from five trees on each parcel. Needle samples were taken from the upper third of the tree crown, with the intention of sampling the seventh branch whorl. The needle samples taken in 2017 have not been analysed. A key list of sample numbers is available for download.

Background information

Starting from 2013, needle samples were taken from the plots that constituted the basic experiment, i.e., the unthinned plots. The sampling includes four treatments: control (C), solid fertilisation (F), irrigation with liquid fertiliser (IL ) and previously irrigated parcels (I) that started to be irrigated with liquid fertiliser in 2007 (new IL). In total 13 parcels were sampled. Note 1: The spruces at Flakaliden were severely affected by rust infection in year 2017. Note 2: Needle samples were also taken in 2016 and analysed at the Department of Forest Ecology and Management, SLU Umeå. No remains of the needle samples were returned to the sample archive.
