Architecture of Scots pine crown.

Dimensions (length, width and thickness) of needles in crowns of young Scots pine ( L.) were found to be related linearly to each other. Similarly, the needle area was linearly correlated with the needle biomass. In the lower crown, needle length was linearly correlated with the length of the shoot,...

description Dimensions (length, width and thickness) of needles in crowns of young Scots pine ( L.) were found to be related linearly to each other. Similarly, the needle area was linearly correlated with the needle biomass. In the lower crown, needle length was linearly correlated with the length of the shoot, but in the upper crown needle length did not vary according to any regular pattern. Needle density was negatively correlated with shoot length. In the lower crown the needle density varied 20â40 cm and in the upper crown 15â 20 cm. The increasing angle of aging needles seemed to be characteristic for Scots pine shoots.Pinus sylvestris-1-1
