Chemical composition of vegetation in man-made landscapes Kursk magnetic anomaly

Abstract

The open-mining leads to the formation of the post-miningo or disturbed lands, which are characterized by extreme conditions. The largest area of the post-mining and disturbed lands in Central Black Soil Region are situated near the Kursk magnetic anomaly enterprises. The main direction of the restoration of the post-mining lands is the forestry reclamation. The biocenosis contribute to changes of substrates properties and their transformation into primary soil (“em-bryonic soils”). The dumps vegetation absorbs nitrogen, ash elements and heavy metals from the substrate and air and returns the above-mentioned elements with litter.
