Figure 2
All available data for newly shed pine (Pinus) needle litter in a climatic gradient ranging from northernmost Fennoscandia to south Spain and south Italy. Nitrogen and Mn were analyzed on the same litter samples. (a); increasing N concentration with increasing site AET (b); decreasing Mn concentration with increasing site MAT.
