Abstract	Three-year-old Eucalyptus nitens (Deane and Maiden) Maiden trees and 1-year-old ramets of a single clone of E. nitens were pruned to remove 0, 50% or 70% of the green crown length. This was equivalent to removal of 0, 55% or 88% of foliage area of trees, and 0, 77% or 94% of foliage area of ramets. CO2 assimilation (A) and stomatal conductance (gs) were measured at constant illumination in five height zones and three foliage-age classes of trees over a 16-month period following pruning. Foliar nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) concentrations were determined for each measurement time during the first 12 months of the experiment. In ramets A and gs were measured in four height zones and two foliage-age classes over a six-week period, and N and P concentrations were measured only once, at the end of the experiment. Rates of A increased by up to 175% following pruning. This response occurred throughout the canopy irrespective of position in the crown or foliage age. The magnitude of the response was generally greater in ramets than in trees, and increased with increasing severity of pruning. The initiation of the response was later, and the duration of the response was longer, in trees than ramets. In the lower crown of trees there was evidence of delayed senescence following pruning. Photosynthetic enhancement was not related to changes in foliar N concentrations. The ratio of A/N increased in many zones following pruning, especially after more severe defoliation. There was no evidence that changes in P concentrations were responsible for the result. The increases in A may have been related to changes in gs, as maximum values of gs were greater, and the ratio of A/gs was generally lower, in pruned than unpruned plants.
