Article: Correlation between chlorophyll and mineral contents of senescent and green leaves of maple trees (acer nigrum). (Environmental Poster Session 10:00 AM-11:00 AM).(Abstract)

BOARD 31

Leaf chlorophyll and essential element concentrations diminish in autumn. It is hypothesized that senescent leaves contain reduced levels of essential elements, including iron, magnesium and copper, thus the chlorophyll content diminishes accordingly, compared with that of the green leaves. Capstone students at Columbus State Community College conducted an experiment in order to establish a correlation between chlorophyll concentration and essential element contents of both senescent and green leaves of maple trees. The experiment contained three replication, and two ...
