Аннотация:The territory of modern Donbass is a huge testing ground for intensiveinfluence on natural ecosystems. Over the years of industrialization from the 19thcentury to the present day, extremely unfavorable environmental situations havedeveloped in the Donetsk economic region. The most basic indicator of enduranceis the air, water and soil pollution index. But these were historical and economicprerequisites. The main thing that is happening in Donbass now is active hostilitiesthat are destroying landscapes and introducing a huge amount of additionalpollutants of a chemical and physical nature. Previously studied indicator plants(as indices of pollution from industry) began to be intensively used to indicatehigh levels of exposure to military action (2014-2023). Our task is to highlightevolutionary directions and establish trends in the structural transformationof plant organisms in the conditions of both outdated industrial geochemicalprovinces and new disturbances of the natural environment. Also, with thispublication we are trying to attract the attention of the scientific community towhat is happening on the territory of modern Donbass - in the industrial center ofEastern Europe.Keywords: phytoindication, polemostress, environmental monitoring,Donbass, ecosystem transformation, ecological analysis, plant survival strategies.
