A complex assessment of fir-Siberian Pine stands in the Kuznetsky Alatau mountains was accomplished. Strongly damaged biocenoses were found to concentrate in the middle and high mountains on the west-facing slopes; there, Siberian fir intensely dry. Our studies in the stands with the low index of life status showed that sulfates and mercury accumulated in the tree needles, and the zinc content decreased.
