Abstract
Treatments with acidified solutions of pH 3.5 cause alterations in the wax structure of the needles of silver fir and Norway spruce. The wax structures, especially those of the stomata, once they have been damaged, are not capable of complete reorganization even if the needle is repeatedly treated with distilled water.
