Integral assessment of the environment using the bioindication methods

Abstract

Bioindication is an assessment of environmental factors and their dynamics based on the properties of ecological or biological systems. Bioindication methods are easily applied in monitoring of the environment. Bioindication is one of the areas of modern ecology based on the environmental laws, assessing (diagnosing) environmental factors and the state and dynamics of ecosystems by the biotic characteristics. Its object is ecological properties and biological characteristics, and its subject is patterns of the relationship of these characteristics (properties) between themselves and with biotic factors. Bioindication reflects the influence of factors external to the biosystem, including the anthropogenic ones. The main purpose of this study is to assess the state of the atmosphere, hydrosphere and soil using thebioindication and biomonitoring methods. A comparative analysis and mathematical processing of data were carried out depending on the level of soil pollution.
