Investigations concerned the effect of different environmental variables on health condition of English oak (Quercus robur L.). It was shown that in the public parks in the city of Poznan the health condition of the analysed species is good. It was stated that health condition of this species in the Poznan parks is influenced by the distance from the immediate city centre, vicinity of traffic arteries and gas emissions from the combustion of fossil fuels by households neighbouring with the parks. Although results recorded in this study confirm literature data concerning the effect of environmental variables on health condition of English oak (Quercus robur L.), it was shown that certain environmental variables have a greater effect on health condition of the analysed species in Poznan.

Badania dotyczyły wpływu różnych zmiennych środowiskowych na stan zdrowotny dębu szypułkowego (Quercus robur L.). Wykazano, że na terenie parków publicznych Poznania stan zdrowotny omawianego gatunku jest dobry. Stwierdzono, że wpływ na stan zdrowotny tego gatunku w parkach Poznania mają: oddalenie od ścisłego centrum miasta, bliskość arterii komunikacyjnych oraz emisja gazów ze spalania paliw kopalnych przez sąsiadujące z parkami gospodarstwa domowe. Mimo że wyniki uzyskane w pracy potwierdzają dane literaturowe dotyczące wpływu zmiennych środowiskowych na stan zdrowotny dębu szypułkowego (Quercus robur L.), to wykazano, że niektóre zmienne środowiskowe mają większy wpływ na stan zdrowotny badanego gatunku w Poznaniu.
