Summary: This article presents the results of the environment condition assessment by the lichenoindication method in the Village of Bagaevskaya, Rostov region, and Donetsk, Donetsk People's Republic. Environmental pollution has a negative impact on plants, animals and humans and suppresses lichen groups in the study areas. During the research the authors defined the study areas and assessed their weather and ecological conditions. The two sites were similar as to their climatic indices because they were located at a short distance from each other. The objects of the study were four survey plots in the Rostov region, the village of Bagaevskaya, adjacent to the highway and plots in Donetsk, Donetsk People's Republic in the Central Park named after Shcherbakov. The survey plots were selected to assess the state of the environment using the method of projective cover in lichenoindication. A comparative assessment of the state of the environment in the village of Bagaevskaya in the Rostov region and the city of Donetsk in the Donetsk People's Republic was relevant, since the study areas were located 290 km from each other. This allowed assessing the anthropogenic load in similar environmental conditions of settlements in the south of the Russian Federation. The purpose of the work was to evaluate and compare anthropogenic load and environmental pollution using the lichenoidification method (bioindication of the environment using the example of lichens). |
