Fluctuating Asymmetry in Morphological Characteristics of <i>Betula Pendula</i> Roth Leaf under Conditions of Urban Ecosystems: Evaluation of the Multi-Factor Negative Impact

Fluctuating Asymmetry in Morphological Characteristics of <i>Betula Pendula</i> Roth Leaf under Conditions of Urban Ecosystems: Evaluation of the Multi-Factor Negative Impact

The fluctuating asymmetry (FA) in <i>Betula pendula</i> Roth was estimated as an integrated measure of five morphometric characteristics of a lamina. Samples were collected in seven cities that differ both in climatic conditions, moderately to sharply continental. In total, 33 ecotopes w...
