title: Biogeocenotic approach to the evaluation of the condition of forest ecosystems under anthropogenic influence.
abstract: Many-sided complex evaluation is given of the condition of forest biogeocenoses located in the vicinity of industrial works, by chemical and biological parameters. The biological aspect is the most informative for the understanding of various disturbances unavoidable in natural communities under conditions of anthropogenic stress. The principle parameters of the vegetational conditions at the north and south subzones of taiga have on the whole a general trend to decrease toward the discharge center. By comparison of the principal characters some distinctions typical for forests of different latitudinal situation are revealed.
