Red Foxes' ecological and behavioral features are characterized in the wild habitats near Samara city on national park's border. Research was carried out during the winter periods of 1982-2008 by the snow traces' tracking techniques. The presence of the anthropogenous objects activates foxes' behavior. The number of the reference acts, research and imitative reactions are grow. The day time activity is stimulates. The home range's configuration is changes.

The effects of metals (Сu, Pb, Ni, Cr, Cd) and fungicide alto-super on dehydrogenase activities of indigenous microflora of grey forest soil and laboratory culture Bacillus pumilus КМ-21 were studied. It was determined that the putting of the metals into soil caused the dose-effect inhibition of dehydrogenase activities of indigenous microflora of soil and dehydrogenase activities Bacillus pumilus КМ-21 estimated in eluate and contact tests. On the base of the established metal concentration causing the 50% inhibition on dehydrogenase activity, it was revealed that the contact test was more sensitive in comparison with eluate test. Cose relation between the alteration in activities of microbial culture (contact test) and indigenous microflora was shown. It allowed to recommend the contact test for estimation of the soil contamination with toxic compounds.

The analysis of influence of harmful anthropogenesis factors of environment on indicators of health of persons from areas with different degree of technogenic pollution in adult population is carried out. Biological markers of ecological trouble of environment are revealed.

The method electric skinpoints computer diagnostics (EPD) are examined two groups, living in towns of the Moscow region with disadvantage and favourable ecological background (g. Lyubercy, Pavlovskiy Posad accordingly). It is considered possibility of the use the integral factors EPD (the average current, the general discord) for estimation adaptation's potential of the children's population of the region. Data children's EPD, being indicator to ecological situation of the region, can be used as objective criterion when realization physician-ecological monitoring. Perspective using EPD by comparing ecological situation in different region (district), so and in estimation her modification for one region.

This paper is devoted to the application of multispectral space high resolution images (made by the cameras of IRS LISS-4 and ASTER (VNIR)) to large-scale mapping and analysis of the current state of forest cover in the protected areas of the Zabaikalsky National Park as a part of the area near Lake Baikal. For the adjustment of earth remote sensing data automatic classification, the field investigations were conducted (geobotanical description of tested polygons).

Anode oxidation of herbicide 2,4-D on the platinized platinum electrode in acidic water solutions in the galvanostatic mode was investigated. Degree of degradation for 2,4-D was detected by a decrease of the total organic carbon with increasing electrolysis time and on reduction of peak 2,4-D in UV a spectrum. Speed of decomposition 2,4-D in a sour water solution correspond to the equation of the first order with rate constant equal to 6 ⋅ 10-5 s-1. On the basis of analysis UV, IR and chromatography-mass-spectra made assumptions about possible intermediate products of decomposition.

Social-ecology monitoring is a system of sightings that reflects the social communities' dynamics according to the ecology problematic. The monitoring system of that time realizes some social management functions that define the ways and assets of reaching the goal environmental safety most effectively, to save the social world, to promote the ecology culture and politics generation. Social-ecology monitoring appears to be an important instrument of achieving different educational and management targets in the university; it may be a basis for youth ecology politics definition.
