Аннотация:The analysis of qualitative and quantitative palynological characteristics in the conditions ofanthropogenically changed landscapes of Donbass is given for the indicator species: Erigeron canadensis L.,Cirsium arvense (L.) Scop., Grindelia squarrosa (Pursh.) Dunal and Achillea millefolium L. It is established thatin the gradient of increasing transforming load, geochemical indicators change, and in the aspect of malegametophyte, significant structural and functional rearrangements occur - this is considered as an indicatorproperty of plants and a response to factors of neo-specific stress caused by the high level of militarization in theDonetsk region. The characteristics of sculpture and ornamentation of the surface of a mature pollen grain, theintensity of coloring and the integrity of the exine have high diagnostic information content of the polemostressfactor. The selected plant species have different survival strategies in unfavourable conditions of geochemical andgeophysical contrast: from high explerence to integumentary of the disturbed soil horizon
