summary The percentages of calcium and magnesium at different positions in the boles and canopies of a number of trees from three experimental areas are given. The total weights of calcium and magnesium in the individual trees and the crops are determined. The calcium and magnesium contents of the trees and other components of the woodland ecosystems are compared. The balance and circulation of calcium and magnesium within the woodland ecosystems are discussed.
