Abstract
Ecologo-geochemical investigations are conducted within the framework of ecological monitoring of ecosystems experiencing the effects from rocket and space activity, on territories used for landing of detachable portions of carrier rockets. Results from soil-geochemical and geobotanical investigations in areas of Northwestern Altai where the second rocket stages fell back to Earth are presented. The data obtained serve as a basis for assessing the effects of rocket and space activity on the region’s ecosystems.
