The relationships between the fluctuating asymmetry indices (FAI) of English oak leaves and the sanitary condition of trees, the concentration of Mg, P, K, Ca, Fe, Zn in leaves; Mg, P, K, Ca, Fe, Cu, Zn, Pb in branches and Na, Mg, P, K, Ca, Fe, Cu, Zn, Pb in the soil directly under the tree were studied. 28 trees located in places with different pollution levels (10–30 m from the Moscow Ring Road and Uzkoe forest park, Moscow) were examined. In the full sample of trees, significant positive correlations were found between the FAI of leaves and the concentration of Ca, Zn, S, Fe in them, as well as between the FAI of leaves and the concentration of Ca, Cu, Na, Fe, Zn in the soil. Negative dependencies were found between the FAI of leaves, the concentration of P in branches and the vital condition of trees. In the case of small samples (n = 10), the presence of correlations between the leaf PFA and the vital condition of trees was noted only in the group of trees in poor vital condition.

 Keywords: vehicle pollution, biodiagnostics, vital state of trees, powdery mildew, oak stands
