Abstract
Immission patterns of airborne heavy metals have been analyzed using n eedles of three different pine species in the areas of Great-Mendoza, Argentina and Leipzig-Halle, Germany. The one- and two-year-old needle s were sampled in April/May 1994 in Argentina and January/February 199 2 in Germany, respectively. The results as discussed using principal c omponent analysis show both similarities and distinct differences betw een the immission patterns, which can be traced back to natural condit ions as well as anthropogenic sources.
