RESEARCH OF THE VEGETATIVE COVER OF ABANDONED COAL DUMPS

Abstract

Abandoned coal dumps have various chemical and mineralogical compositions. Under the influence of internal and external physicochemical processes in combination with climatic and hydrogeological conditions, the chemical composition of the dumps undergoes serious transformations. This can lead to the inhibition of growth and death of plants that grow on the dumps and adjoining areas. Therefore, the control of the state of phytomeliorants growing on waste heaps is an important link to the rehabilitation of the mining territories.
