Strong variations in respiration rates throughout the season and within the trees were mainly caused by gradients in stem temperature growth rates and distribution of living cells. The higher respiration rates were measured in the upper crown. During the non-growing season maintenance respiration ranged between and 528 lmol m-3 s-1 at breast height and in the upper crown respectively. Q10 increased along the stem from at breast height to in the upper crown. There was a linear relationship between N and the percentage of living cells in the wood but respiration increased strongly with N . Growth respiration accounted for 45-76 of annual stem respiration and the growth respiration coefficient was close to g C respired g-1 C fixed. beech stem and branch respiration living cell nitrogen concentration Résumé - Variations spatiales et saisonnières de la respiration ligneuse chez le Hêtre Fagus sylvatica . La respiration ligneuse a été me-surée de faẹon continue sur des Hêtres Fagus sylvatica L. adultes dans une forêt de l est de la France à trois niveaux dans la couronne de branches en 1997 et à deux voire trois niveaux le long du tronc en 1998. Les fortes variations du taux de respiration observées au cours de la saison et au sein de l arbre étaient essentiellement causées par des gradients de température de taux de .
