Impact of emissions from the Orenburg gas chemical complex on the state of forest ecosystems

Abstract

Abstract The article presents the results of a study of the state of forest ecosystems growing in the zone of the Orenburg gas-chemical complex. The authors established a taxation characteristic depending on the degree of remoteness from the source of pollution, the degree of accumulation and the accumulation series of heavy metals in the forest litter, and the horizontal crown density was calculated. All obtained data were analyzed using statistical analysis methods. The data obtained can be used for practical purposes.
