Аннотация: Novel approaches to description of ecosystem changes under the impact of contaminants, dependent on their local concentration and the impact duration, are considered. It is shown that, using quite simple assumptions about biotic effects of a contaminant, this process can be treated as an ecological analogue to phase transition of the second order. For the analysis and verification of the model proposed, the data on forest ecosystems in the vicinity of powerful point sources of contamination (copper-smelting plants) had been used.
