To investigate the causes of this decline foliar diagnosis methods were used to monitor the nutritional status of ten trees sampling and analysing every year between 1989 and 1992 the current year needles c needles from the previous year c 1 and from the year before that c 2 . The parameters examined were both chemical nitrogen sulphur magnesium potassium calcium manganese iron and lead and morphological needle length flat projection dry weight specific dry weight and water content . The findings show a considerable calcium accumulation as the needles age accompanied by an increase in dry weight and specific dry weight as well as a marked antagonism to manganese. The influence of the nearby metropolitan area of Florence is suggested by the accumulation of lead.
