Vegetation restoration at sand-pits in the suburbs of Syktyvkar during forest recultivation

The health status of pine cultures on sand and subsand substrata (soils) at open pits in the suburbs of Syktyvkar (north-east of European Russia, middle taiga subzone) has been examined. The process of vegetation cover restoration has been described. Dependence of soil cover characteristics (species composition, projective cover) on time parameters and environmental conditions has been demonstrated.
