Abstract
Any disturbance of the ecosystem affects its species composition. The article presents data on floristic similarity between different stages of succession in areas of the abandoned territory of a thermal power plant, as well as the ratio of ecological formations at different stages of natural reforestation in the conditions of the south of the Russian Far East; the ratio of ecological groups of plants at different stages of restoration was determined using environmental scales, and the research results were compared with actual soil properties. The article covers in detail the process of gradual overgrowing of slag dumps and the stages of change in the composition of phytocenoses; for each stage, the coefficient of floristic similarity according to Jaccard is calculated. It has been determined that during succession, differentiation of ecological niches of plants occurs, which increases the diversity of ecological groups. As slag dumps become overgrown, there is a tendency for vegetation to become acidified. The number of species with a relatively narrow range of acidity, approaching acidophiles, is increasing: in 2012, Hippophaer hamnoides L. and Lespedeza bicolor Turcz. grow in large quantities in the study areas, in 2015 and 2020. These species are becoming extinct. There is a gradual shift in the range of scores related to nitrogen supply from nitrophilic species to subanitrophilic ones.
