Revegetation on reclaimed coal heaps of Kansk forest-steppes

Investigated the early stages of the vegetation development on overburden recultivation heaps of the Borodinskoye brown-coal deposit. The structure of vegetation was considered within the diversity, zonal, ecological, and biomorphological parameters. The youngest heaps are characterized by a continuous cover of the pioneer groups of the weed and ruderal mesophytes. The older communities are highly mosaic and include a large number of the xerophytes presented of the zonal steppe and forest plant species.
