Abstract

This article provides an overview of modern bioindication methods for environmental monitoring and evaluates their usability. It analyzes the prerequisites for the creation and development of the concept of envi ronmental monitoring in Russia and abroad considering the key publication in this research field. The main attention is paid to the methods of phytoindication that enable to evaluate the accumulation and distribution features of technogenic pollutants in phytomonitors, such as higher plants, lichens, mosses. Based on the long-term educational experience in teaching the courses: “Principles of bioindication and biomonitor ing”, “Geoecological monitoring” and “Methods of field and laboratory research”, and obtained in the process of training and field research practice of students of the Moscow State University, the various methods of phytoindication have been examined. The basic premise of using plants as the study object in the geo- ecological assessment of the environment, including monitoring research have been analyzed.

Keywords

environmental monitoring, biomonitoring, phytoindication, technogenic pollution, pollutants, ecological education and scientific activities.
