Abstract
Analysis of the state of live ground cover of green moss forests in the middle and northern taiga of West Siberia under the action of various factors of oil production is presented. These factors include oil pollution of land, salinization, underflooding by underground water. The action of these factors causes the consequences that are negative for the phytocoenosis: a decrease in total abundance and the biological productivity of the plants in the live ground cover, a decrease in taxonomic abundance, changes of the role of separate species and groups of plants in the phytocoenosis.
