Abstract
Two interdisciplinary projects of the Federal Forest Research Centre h ave been started in the last ten years as a contribution to the Austri an forest ecosystem research programme. Their main goal was an interdi sciplinary investigation of interactions between air pollutants and va rious ecological parameters. Plant/physiological parameters were used to describe the naturally and anthropogenically induced stress pattern s caused by different environmental conditions. Biochemical analyses o f needles of Norway spruce (Picea abies) including ascorbic acid conce ntrations, peroxidase activity, thiols and pigments were taken at two altitudinal profiles.
