Abstract
Results of the complex investigation of large-scale damage of forests in the Baikal region under the action of industrial pollution are presented. An approach to distinguish the areas affected by specific industrial centers is considered. The physiological condition of the weakened treestands is assessed using a set of parameters. The role of the secondary factors in the forest decline is determined. An approach to the complex phytotoxic mapping of the polluted areas is elaborated.
