Since July 28th, 1997 the two experimental mini-stands of young Norway spruce [Picea abies (L.) Karst.] have been grown in lamellar domes at ambient (AC) and elevated concentrations of CO2 [EC, i.e., ambient + 350 µmol(CO2) mol-1]. Before the start of exposure to EC (June 1997) the dependencies of photosystem 2 (PS2) quantum yield (Y) on irradiance, estimating the efficiency of PPFD utilisation in PS2 photochemistry, were the same for AC and EC shoots. After one month of EC simulation (August 1997), Y values were higher for EC needles as compared with the AC ones (by 1-42 %), whereas two months later (October 1997) an opposite effect was observed (decrease of Y by from 1 to 33 %). By chlorophyll a (Chl a) fluorescence induction the effects of EC on PS2 function were further characterised. During the first month a moderate improvement of PS2 function was estimated for EC needles from slightly higher potential yield of PS2 photochemistry (FV/FM, by 1 %) and reduced amount of inactive PS2 reaction centres (relative Fp1 level, by 15 %). However, the prolonged exposure to EC led firstly to a slight but significant decrease of FV/FM (by 3 %), secondly to a reduction of half time of fluorescence rise (t1/2, by 14 %), and finally to pronounced accumulation of inactive PS2 reaction centres (by 41 %). From the gradual response of individual Chl a fluorescence parameters we suggest a probable sequence of events determining the stimulation and subsequent depression of PS2 function for Norway spruce during the first season under EC.

Additional key words: chlorophyll fluorescence induction; dry and fresh matter; Picea abies
