Investigations on nitrate reduction of Fraxinus excelsior L. and Quercus robur L. under different nitrogen supply conditions
Funding: DFG Ge 565/2-1, Ge 565/2-2, Ge 565/2-3
From 05/1989 to 10/1996
Principal Investigator: Gerhard Gebauer
Staff: Jutta Stadler, Christoph May
Within the framework of the DFG-SPP "Physiology of Trees", the investigations are intended to contribute to clarifying the question of the localization of the predominant nitrate reduction (shoot or root reduction) in trees. For this purpose, the location of the predominant nitrate reduction in two native tree species (ash and oak) will be localized depending on the different quantity (different levels of nitrate supply) and quality (pure nitrate nutrition or mixed nutrition of nitrate and ammonium) of the nitrogen supply.
