Regeneration successions of northern taiga spruce forests under reduction of aerotechnogenic impact

  • Published:
Contemporary Problems of Ecology Aims and scope

Abstract

The development of the composition and structure of northern taiga spruce forests on the Kola Peninsula under regeneration succession with a reduction in emissions from the metallurgical combine are described. Parameters of species diversity and ecological-coenotic structure of plant communities, including algosinusia of soils, are assessed under different technogenic impacts. Significant indices of stable transformations of plants from different layers during the regeneration succession were revealed. Strongly transformed communities in the vicinity of the combine are shown to remain in a critical state due to the preserved high level of soil pollution and demutation changes of the taiga components in the course of allogenic succession.
