The assessment of O3-like foliar symptoms is increasingly considered in monitoring programs aimed at evaluating air pollution effects on forests. The results showed considerable spatial and temporal variation of O3-like foliar symptoms: year, subplot adn the interaction between year and plot were found significant factors. Symptoms resulted lower in 2001; there were differences of foliar symptoms between different subplot and overall the variation between years are considerably different according to the plot being considered. These findings suggest that O3-like foliar symptoms recorded on a small plot selected without a formal statistical approach and with no consideration of the apparently high variability of symptoms expression risk to introduce a serious bias in the evaluation of the potential ozone impact at a given site and its trend
