Ecological successions of phytocenoses in the process of formation of the phytomeliorative cover of landfills

Abstract

The vegetation in the landfills within the Western Forest Steppe of Ukraine is characterized by the rich species composition of the grass cover near the bottom and its almost absence at the top (southern slope). The transforming function of adapted plant groups leads to significant reduce of the intensity of denudation processes of technogenic substrates, and initiate soil-forming processes in them. The aim of the work is to establish the peculiarities of successional processes in different types of landfills of the Western Forest Steppe of Ukraine, depending on various technogenic factors.
