To characterize successional changes, the article discusses the method of using the values of environmental parameters of habitats according to the scales of D.N. Tsyganova. Geobotanical descriptions laid on sample plots in the Voronezh mountain oak forest were processed in the EcoScaleWin program. Based on the analysis of the maximum and minimum values for the studied environmental parameters of four forest-forming species (Quercus robur, Fraxinus excelsior, Tilia cordata, Acer platanoides), it was found that the sycamore maple has increased average abundance values compared to other species. In oak forest areas where the currently observed successional trend associated with the loss of oak from the tree stand will continue, Acer platanoides will take the place of the edificator.
