ECOSYSTEM SERVICES AND ECOLOGICAL STRUCTURE OF TECHNOZEMS VEGETATION WITHIN NIKOPOL MANGANESE ORE BASIN

The environmental characteristics of vegetation which is formed on various types of
remediated soils were investigated. It is shown that the technozems vegetation represented by 91
species of vascular plants. The number of species in plant communities is dominated by the family
Asteraceae, Poaceae, Fabaceae, Brassicaceae and Rosaceae. The taxonomic aspect technozems flora
is a typical impression of the regional flora. In the succession of vegetation three stages of
vegetation consistently and regularly replace each other, pioneer community stage, the stage of
simple community and complex community stage. For therophyte projective cover share increases
significantly, as if returning to a disturbed stage of succession dynamics.
