title = "Sulphur content of Red pine (Pinus brutia) needles and barkas indicator of atmospheric pollution in Southwest Turkey",
abstract = "One-, two- and three-year-old red pine (Pinus brutia var. brutia) needles and tree bark samples were collected and analyzed for their sulphur content from localities where dead trees were observed. The results indicate that the sulphur content has increased in localities exposed to high levels of SO2 emission. The highest increase was observed in two-year-old needles. We thus conclude that the sulphur content of two-year-old needles can be a bioindicator of some importance if the cause of tree death is known to be SO2. The sulphur content of bark samples was found to be lower in less polluted areas.",
