The purpose of the research is to describe plant community formation on the quarry surfaces to determine a path for optimal revegetation. To achieve the goal, the studies determined soil pH, the content of skeletal fraction, basal respiration, and performed the acidimetric assessment of CO. The research program aimed to investigate the peculiarities of plant communities' formation in areas with different degrees of revitalization and investigate the influence of soil cover on plant associations. Results showed that the average basal soil respiration rate on the quarry was extremely low (about 0.3 mg CO/g of soil/h). The CO content in the carbonate ranged from 0.07% to 0.7%, with the higher figures observed in older Kuzbass rather than Mosbass and Sokolovsky quarries. An analysis of soil samples from three quarries revealed four plant groups at sites associated with the prevalence of specific fractions, such as gravel, sand, silt, and stony soil. Given that Kuzbass is the oldest open-pit mine, forest vegetation species dominate here in the surveyed areas (>40%), and this feature is typical of gravel soils. The dominant species present on the gravel substrate were downy birch (), common hornbeam (), European oak (), Siberian spruce (), common juniper (), Siberian larch (), common pine (), and Siberian fir (). Mosbass is also characterized by a diversity of similar species, though work on mineral mining there ended in 2009, more recently than in other sites. Stony and sandy soil fractions predominated in the Sokolovsky quarry, although other studied substrates were also present.
该研究的目的是描述采石场表面的植物群落形成情况，以确定最佳植被恢复路径。为实现这一目标，研究测定了土壤pH值、骨骼成分含量、基础呼吸作用，并对二氧化碳进行了酸碱滴定评估。该研究计划旨在调查不同振兴程度地区植物群落形成的特点，并研究土壤覆盖对植物群落的影响。结果表明，采石场土壤的平均基础呼吸速率极低（约0.3毫克二氧化碳/克土壤/小时）。碳酸盐中的二氧化碳含量在0.07%至0.7%之间，在较老的库兹巴斯地区观察到的数值高于莫斯科巴斯和索科洛夫斯基采石场。对三个采石场的土壤样本分析发现，在与砾石、沙子、淤泥和石质土壤等特定成分占主导的地点存在四个植物组。鉴于库兹巴斯是最古老的露天矿，在所调查地区，森林植被物种占主导地位（>40%），这一特征在砾石土壤中很典型。砾石基质上的优势物种有柔毛桦、普通角树、欧洲橡树、西伯利亚云杉、普通杜松、西伯利亚落叶松、普通松树和西伯利亚冷杉。莫斯科巴斯也有多种类似物种，尽管那里的矿产开采工作于2009年结束，比其他地点更近。索科洛夫斯基采石场以石质和沙质土壤成分为主，不过也存在其他研究过的基质。
