Plant Nutrients Removed by Nursery Stock
Nutrient concentrations and biomass of roots, stems, and needles were determined for 2 + 0 seedlings of four conifer species: red pine (Pinus resinosa Ait.), eastern white pine (Pinus strobus L.), white spruce (Picea glauca (Moench) Voss), and Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.). The pines consumed larger amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium than did the spruces. Consumption of fertilizer equivalents per acre was in the order of red pine > eastern white pine > white spruce > Norway spruce. Tree Planters' Notes 40(2):8-11; 1989.
