Evaluation of the efficiency of the of natural forest restoration in the areas of functioning of mining enterprises on the example of the «Kedrovoe» deposit

A significant part of the lands of the Sverdlovsk region is represented by forest lands, some of which have been violated and are subject to restoration, especially in industrial areas. The most significant natural component for the restoration of disturbed lands is the soil cover, which is a multifunctional and multicomponent environment for the formation of biological communities, and largely depends on factors such as geographical distribution, soil-forming rocks, climate, the period of formation of the soil cover. According to the surveys conducted at the field of feldspar raw materials “Kedrovoye”, the types of soils that are subject to man-made load in the area of the deposit location were identified: sod-podzolic and swamp peat soils. These types of soils have optimal conditions for coniferous-deciduous phytocenoses. The use of a fertile and potentially fertile soil layer removed during the development of the deposit is the most important step of the biological stage of reclamation — natural reforestation. Qualitative assessment of the soil, depending on the chosen direction of reclamation, is represented by morphological, physico-chemical, and biological features. Based on the conducted research, the importance of measures to minimize the anthropogenic load on the soil cover in the areas of overburden dumps is revealed and optimal conditions for natural reforestation are shown by organizing “growth points” in order to form primary plant groupings.

Keywords: sod-podzolic soils, swamp peat soils, reforestation, reclamation, overburden, mineral deposits, self-overgrowth.
