Distribution of Mineral Substances in Different Wood Tissues of European Larch (Larix decidua Mill.)

Typical wood tissues, such as stemwood, bark, branches, twigs and needles, of two very old European larch trees (Larix decidua Mill.) were examined for the content of macro and micro mineral substances. Elemental analysis, atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS) and ultraviolet/visible (UV/VIS) te...
