RESTORATION OF VEGETATION ON MINE LANDS NEAR MONCHEGORSK (MURMANSK REGION, RUSSIA)
Background. The increasing technogenic pollution actualizes the restoration of vegetation cover in many industrial regions of the planet, including the vicinity of non-ferrous metallurgy enterprises in the Kola Subarctic. The barrens podzols and abrazemes are unfavorable for plant development. The s...

Background. The increasing technogenic pollution actualizes the restoration of vegetation cover in many industrial regions of the planet, including the vicinity of non-ferrous metallurgy enterprises in the Kola Subarctic. The barrens podzols and abrazemes are unfavorable for plant development. The study is aimed at assessing the restoration of vegetation as a result of the mine lands remediation near the Severonickel industrial complex. Materials and methods. Remediation was carried out in 2003–2008 by two methods: chemophytostabilisation (without pretreatment of the soil) and overlapping of contaminated soils with organic matter–rich cover materials followed by liming, fertilization, seedlings planting and grass mixture sowing. The species composition and the projective cover of the vegetation, the vital status of the undergrowth, the aboveground phytomass of the ground cover and the thickness of the upper soil layer were evaluated at 11 monitoring sites taking into account spatial variation.
