Abstract
At three sites in northern Germany stress bioindicators (acid phosphatase and peroxidase activity) were determined in the needles of healthy and damaged trees. Between heathly and damaged trees at a specific site, differences in the stress bioindicators were shown, but no common pattern between the sites could be found. The study indicates that these bioindictors may be used to show a general stress, but it is difficult to relate them to a specific stress factor.
