Sixteen sessile oaks (Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl.) (64-129years; stem diameters: 17-57cm) and twelve beeches (Fagus sylvatica L.) (43-86years; stem diameters: 9-50cm) were destructively sampled from a mixed stand located on an acid brown soil in southern Belgium. Statistical models were developed to investigate the differences in nutrient concentrations between tree species, between aboveground tree compartments of the same species, and between tissues of the same compartment. For stem tissues, vertical concentration profiles were described using a versatile equation. Allometric equations were used to predict biomass and nutrient content of tree compartments based on tree dimensions. Broadly speaking, nutrient concentrations tended to be somewhat higher for oak compared with beech, but the amplitude and the direction of inter-species differences varied greatly, depending on the nutrient and the tree compartment. For both species, living branch nutrient concentrations tended to decrease with increasing branch diameter, except for Ca (oak) and Mg (beech). Nutrient concentrations were consistently higher in bark than in wood; this difference between tissues was quite pronounced for Ca, particularly in the case of oak. The biomass and nutrient content equations were used to investigate the effects of tree species and harvesting regime on nutrient exports at harvesting. For equivalent harvesting scenarios, beech was found to induce higher Mg exports than oak, and inversely for Ca. Assuming stand clear cutting, complete tree harvesting would increase average nutrient exports from 65% (Ca) to 162% (P) compared with a stem-only harvesting scenario. These results provide valuable information in the current context of the more intensive utilization of forest products. 000011691 536__ $$0G:(DE-Juel1)FUEK407$$2G:(DE-HGF)$$aTerrestrische Umwelt$$cP24$$x0 000011691 588__ $$aDataset connected to Web of Science, Pubmed 000011691 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aBelgium 000011691 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aBiomass 000011691 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aCalcium Compounds: analysis 000011691 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aEnvironmental Monitoring: methods 000011691 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aEnvironmental Remediation 000011691 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aFagus: physiology 000011691 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aFood 000011691 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aForestry 000011691 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aMagnesium Compounds: analysis 000011691 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aPlant Components, Aerial: chemistry 000011691 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aQuercus: physiology 000011691 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aSpecies Specificity 000011691 650_7 $$00$$2NLM Chemicals$$aCalcium Compounds 000011691 650_7 $$00$$2NLM Chemicals$$aMagnesium Compounds 000011691 650_7 $$2WoSType$$aJ 000011691 65320 $$2Author$$aBiomass 000011691 65320 $$2Author$$aNutrient content 000011691 65320 $$2Author$$aQuercus petraea 000011691 65320 $$2Author$$aFagus sylvatica 000011691 65320 $$2Author$$aMixed-species stand 000011691 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aJonard, M.$$b1 000011691 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aPonette, Q.$$b2 000011691 773__ $$0PERI:(DE-600)1498726-0$$a10.1016/j.scitotenv.2010.02.040$$gVol. 408, p. 2285 - 2294$$p2285 - 2294$$q408<2285 - 2294$$tThe @science of the total environment$$v408$$x0048-9697$$y2010 000011691 909CO $$ooai:juser.fz-juelich.de:11691$$pVDB 000011691 9131_ $$0G:(DE-Juel1)FUEK407$$bErde und Umwelt$$kP24$$lTerrestrische Umwelt$$vTerrestrische Umwelt$$x0 000011691 9141_ $$y2010 000011691 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0010$$aJCR/ISI refereed 000011691 9201_ $$0I:(DE-Juel1)VDB793$$d31.10.2010$$gICG$$kICG-4$$lAgrosphäre$$x1 000011691 970__ $$aVDB:(DE-Juel1)122989 000011691 980__ $$aVDB 000011691 980__ $$aConvertedRecord 000011691 980__ $$ajournal 000011691 980__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)IBG-3-20101118 000011691 980__ $$aUNRESTRICTED 000011691 981__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)IBG-3-20101118
