Cold-induced photoinhibition and foliar pigment dynamics of Eucalyptus nitens seedlings during establishment

The effects of cold-induced photoinhibition on chlorophyll and carotenoid dynamics and xanthophyll cycling in Eucalyptus nitens (Deane and Maiden) Maiden were assessed between planting and 32 weeks after planting. The seedlings were fertilised or nutrient-deprived (non-fertilised) before planting and shaded or not shaded after planting. The experimental site was 700 m a.s.l., which is considered marginal for establishment of E. nitens...
