Abstract

Eucalyptus grandis trees were grown in plantations with and without added fertiliser to examine the effects of plant nutrition on photosynthesis and growth. Leaves were sampled from known locations within canopies of selected trees and leaf N and P concentrations were measured. Contour maps of N and P distributions were then produced for crowns of trees aged between 6 and 16 months. Gas exchange measurements on sample leaves were used to estimate parameters of a model of C
