Abstract

The paper presents the results of the analysis of the use of living organisms as bioindicators and model groups in the ecological monitoring of natural ecosystems in various landscapes. The results of the analysis of the distribution of dragonflies and macromycetes in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, the taxonomic composition of populations and individual communities showed a relationship with physical-geographical and natural-climatic conditions. The distribution of dragonflies is heterogeneous, associated with the characteristic features of water bodies and terrestrial biotopes, the nature of saprobity and plant formations. The distribution of macromycetes is determined by substrate specialization, the composition of the dendroflora of mycobiotes of different altitudinal zones and belts. Features of the distribution, allows you to use these groups of organisms as model objects for the organization of environmental monitoring.
