Abstract
The influence of industrial gas pollution on biological transformation of wood in a forest ecosystem in the vicinities of the Irkutsk aluminum plant (city of Shelekhov) was studied. It was found that the biological degradation of wood macrocomponents occurs with great losses of mass, and the amount of extractive substances increases, a non-specific reaction of arboreal plants and fungi to stress caused by the influence of atmospheric man-made pollutants is observed.
