Therefore 5-year-old Fagus sylvatica seedlings were grown on a scaffolding in the sun and shade crown of 55-year-old trees throughout one growing season. Independent of tree age sun leaves had a lower specific leaf area lower pigment contents and a more capacitive antioxidative system than shade leaves. In addition in the sun crown leaves of seedlings displayed a higher specific leaf area than leaves of adult trees. Age dependent changes in leaf morphology were related to changes in the defense capacity against oxidative stress with area based concentrations of antioxidants and pigments increasing with tree age. Thus our results suggest that differences in the response to oxidative stress may be attributed to age and crown position related differences in the specific leaf area the latter influencing the biochemical and physiological performance of Fagus sylvatica leaves. Fagus sylvatica tree age exposure to light antioxidative defense specific leaf area Résumé - L influence du microclimat et de l âge de l arbre sur la capacité défensive du hêtre européen Fagus sylvatica L. contre le stress oxidatif.
