Abstract
Contamination of atmosphere and soils was found to be accompanied by the active participation of S, Ni, Cu and Fe in the biological cycle in the area adjacent to \"Petchenganickel\" group of smelting works. The content of Ni, Cu and S in pine needles near the works is as high as 0,7-1; 0,4-0,5 and 40-60 mmol/kg respectively, these values for metals being by an order of magnitude higher than those in unpolluted areas. With increase in the age of trees the content of N, P, K, Mg and S in pine needles decreases and the content of Ca, Al, Fe and Mn increases; accumulation of Ni and Cu in pine needles is usually observed near the smelting works.

Oddvar SkreAbstract
Seedlings of white birch seem to tolerate high winter temperatures to a higher degree than spruce seedlings, and were also more able to take advantage of elevated CO2 levels. Large differences were observed between provenances in response patterns. The southern provenance of birch was more tolerant against raised winter temperatures than the northern ecotype, and the southern spruce provenance seemed to differ from the two northern provenances in the same way. The Icelandic birch population seemed to have developed a low-growth strategy with strong CO2 acclimation and no significant CO2 responses in photosynthetic rates and growth parameters. This differing response may be explained by long-term selection pressure due to heavy grazing. One of the spruce provenences showed a similar pattern.
