Trace element distribution within the tree phytomass and forest floor of a tolerant hardwood stand, Algoma, Ontario

An examination of tree phytomass and trace metal concentrations (w/w) and pools in the tree stratum and forest floor of a sugar maple-yellow birch forest was carried out at Turkey Lakes Watershed, Algoma District, Ontario. Estimated aboveground tree phytomass (167,500 kg ha super(-1)) was dominated...

Zusammenfassung:An examination of tree phytomass and trace metal concentrations (w/w) and pools in the tree stratum and forest floor of a sugar maple-yellow birch forest was carried out at Turkey Lakes Watershed, Algoma District, Ontario. Estimated aboveground tree phytomass (167,500 kg ha super(-1)) was dominated by stemwood, branches > 2 cm, and stem bark. Highest trace metal concentrations were found in foliage (Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni) and stem bark (Cd, Pb, An). Concentrations of essential trace metals found in all sugar maple components followed the expected sequence of Mn > Fe > Zn > Cu. Lead and Ni concentrations were always higher than those of Cd.
