Использование прокрустового дисперсионного анализа при исследовании асимметрии листовых пластин дуба черешчатого

Definition of the development stability is carried out by morphogeometric method with the use of Procrustean analysis by the value of fluctuating asymmetry (FA). Three populations of English oak (Quercus robur) in inundated oak forests of the Klyazma river have been studied. In the population being under the effect of anthropogenic stress (Vladimir city), the FA value is higher than that in Kovrovsky and Melenkovsky districts with less industrial and motor transportation load. Thus, the fluctuating asymmetry can serve as bioindication characteristic of the ecological state of English oak populations.
