Аннотация: In the abundant literature on plant chemistry, little attention is paid to correlations among chemical elements in tissues. The goal of the research is to establish consistent correlations among elements in the xylem of four widespread Siberian conifers. X-ray fluorescent analysis has been applied to find out the elements containedПоказать полностьюin the xylem. The method allowed finding the mean count rates of Al, P, S, K, Ca, Ti, Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, and Sr in trunks of trees. Moreover, the xylem samples were chemically treated twice, first in alcohol and then in HCl. It was found that species factor exerts a significant influence on the elemental content of a few elements, but not on all of them. The chemical treatment decreases the impact of the species factor. The treatment increases the number of significant correlations and strength of them. In some cases (especially with Al), the correlations may change the sign of the relationship. The consistent correlations may help arrange more profound chemical research revealing the forms in which the elements exist in xylem. © 2022 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland.
