Abstract
The dose-effect dependencies, which characterize response of the epiph ytic lichenosynusia of southern taiga in the Middle Urals to pollution by discharges of a copper-smelting plant, are substantially nonlinear and, in most cases, have an S-shaped form. A transition from backgrou nd to impact state is very sharp and begins when the background level of pollution is exceeded by 1.5 - 2.3 times.
