Abstract
Many open-pit mining pits have been excavated within recent decades, therefore research on artificial reclamation and natural renaturalization of quarries is increasingly relevant. Despite the fact that many works are devoted to the study of the restoration of ecosystems of technogenically disturbed territories, there are aspects that require more detailed study. These include: identification of features of vegetation, due to zonal-climatic and technogenic-landscape features of specific areas.
This article presents the results of studying the floristic composition on the coast of the watered Yantarny quarry, where stable plant communities have formed over the past 50 years since amber mining was stopped. The features of the steep and gentle slopes of the flooded quarry are considered in terms of the peculiarities of species diversity of vegetation on such slopes; based on it the features characteristic of the flooded Yantarny quarry are identified. Differences were also found in the overgrowth of the coast, depending on the recreational load upon individual parts of the reservoir coastline. The projective vegetation cover of the coast is about 80%. It has been established that 47 species of vascular plants of four life forms belonging to 44 genera and 24 families grow on the coast of the watered Yantarny quarry. 20% of the total number of species are violenta-plants. Herbaceous and shrub vegetation predominates. Two species of invasive plants have been found. There is a transition to a climax community with woody vegetation. The greatest variety of vegetation species grows in the transition zone from the foot to the side slope of the quarry.
