Abstract

Changes in the trophic status and moistening of oligotrophic peat soils subjected to oil pollution and subsequent reclamation in the middle reaches of the Ob River are discussed. The main plants-indicators are listed. Numerical estimates of the trophic level and the degree of moistening of natural and transformed soils of the widespread bog biogeocenoses—pine-dwarf-shrub-sphagnum, complex ridged-hollow, and cotton grass-sphagnum bogs—are suggested on the basis of the ecological scales developed by L.G. Ramenskii. These estimates have been grouped into several classes used to describe the ecological conditions in natural biogeocenoses of the middle taiga subzone. The main tendencies in the transformation of ecological conditions are revealed. Indicative characteristics of the anthropogenic salinization of peat soils are established.
