Abstract
Studies in the urban territories have been carried out in 2013-2015 using monitoring net-work with 14 plots. Systemic character of biogeocenosis disturbance was detected. The forest bio-geocenosis decline have been assessed by survey of complex morphostructural and visual parameters for trees, herbage, soil, as well as by content of chemical elements in tree needles and in soil horizons. The plots were situated near the Bratsk industrial zone, and within the area of all the city administrative district. The most heavy decline in the biogeocenosis was revealed in the vicinity of industrial zone and within the Central district. Less decline was found on the area of Padun district, and minimal decline was revealed in Pravoberezhniy district which located in the large distance from industrial sources. The processes in the disturbance of soils were changes in acid-alkaline bal-ance, increase of accumulation of pollutants in soil, alteration in proportions biogenic elements in soil solution. It was shown that within industrial and urban territories main factors affecting nega-tively on soils are a high level of air pollution and a heavy recreation load resulting to deterioration of morphological and physical soil parameters. Pronounced anthropogenic transformation was shown in trees, herbage, upper soil horizons. Indices can use as a basis for elaboration a scale as-sessment of state forests disturbed by technogenic pollution.
