The fluorescence temperature curves of one year old needles from upper whorls of spruce tree had an expressively higher high-temperature fluorescence peak (above 60 °C) than the needles from bottom whorls. These whorles were less irradiated and their needles had a lower chlorophyll a/b ratio than those from the upper whorls.

Additional key words: canopy gradient of irradiance; Picea abies
