PRINCIPLES OF REVITALIZATION OF TECHNOGICALLY VIOLATED AREAS IN THE WESTERN REGION OF UKRAINE

Abstract

Here are given the basic principles of revitalization of post-technogenic territories in the Western region of Ukraine. Here have been identified varieties of species in the different dumps of the mines of the Mezhyrichia coal and Kolomyia lignite mines, as well as the slopes of the Yavoriv quarry and the dumps of the Yaziv sulfur deposit. The main factors of vegetation restoration in post-technological territories highlighted the ways of choice and directions of revitalization of disturbed landscapes. Here are also revealed technological aspects of restoration of post-technological territories depending on the degree of change in the conditions of growth in places – weak, moderate-, strong-, and deeply changed. Here are established stages of natural succession of vegetation in post-technogenic territories and its characteristic features. Here are revealed the advantages and disadvantages, opportunities and threats (SWOT-analysis) of natural self-restoration of biocenoses in post-technogenic territories and territories of phytomelioration or reclamation measures. Here are outlined necessary conditions for the formation of stable plant communities in posttechnogenic areas. Here are also given the basic principles of landscape formation during the planning phytomeliorative or reclamation measures.
