During the exposure period, the microwave radiator caused no visual symptoms of damage. Power flux densities had no effect on crown transparency. Height growth of shoots was not affected. Chlorophyll fluorescence data testified to similar potential photosynthetic activities in beech leaves of all exposure groups. The only effect of microwave exposure was a decrease of calcium and sulfur concentrations in beech leaves with increasing power flux density.
