Abstract

The article contains data on the accounting of the species composition of forest plantations, the number of specimens at the trial sites of the ecological landfill of JSC Razrez Raspadsky. The main results of monitoring studies in 2024 showed that in addition to planted woody and shrubby plant species, in the first year after reclamation work, most sites have an active stage of vegetation restoration, with the exception of site No. 10 (technogenic eluvium, projective coverage less than 1%). The projected coverage of herbaceous plants has changed from less than 1% in 2023 to 10-25% in 2024. There are also significant changes in species diversity, with species diversity ranging from 3 to 11 species in 2023 and from 22 to 37 plant species in 2024. The initial stages of succession are observed, characterized by an increase in the projective coverage and species diversity of plants, especially due to the predominance of ruderal species.

Keywords
