Abstract

The article discusses the features of the natural restoration of vegetation cover on the 30-year-old dumps of the Chernogorsky open-pit mine. Based on the results of 5 years of observations of plant communities on different elements of the mesorelief it was found that primary successions are characterized by a grassy type of overgrowth. The productivity of communities has been determined and the dominant species in them have been identified. Ecological groups of plants and their life forms are described, and the vertical structure of plant communities is studied. It has been shown that over thirty years of self-growth, plant communities are at one of the intermediate stages of recovery and differ in composition and structure from zonal communities.

Keywords

Overburden rock dumps, self-fertilization, structure of plant communities, productivity, Republic of Khakassia.
