Old age dumps have significant scientific value in terms of
preserving information about the course of the late stages of successional development of vegetation and mining landscapes in general. The study of the spatial distribution of vegetation on the iron ore dumps of the Kryvyi
Rih Iron Ore Basin is currently fragmentary, so information on the territorial and structural aspect of the vegetation cover organization such objects of
industrial heritage is the next step in learning the ways of their genesis. The aim of the work is to identify the patterns of territorial differentiation of iron ore dumps vegetation in Kryvyi Rih Iron Ore Basin using the examples of small dumps in the gully Pivnichna Chervona and the olden mines “Dubova balka” and “Rakhmanivskyi”. The work is based on the materials of field research conducted in 2016–2021; 80 geobotanical descriptions were used
and 5 large-scale vegetation maps were created. The results of the territorial differentiation research of phytostructures, it was established that it is caused
by the heterogeneity of ecotopes and is characterized by a fine-contour mosaic. Over a hundred-year period of self-development of these post-mining landscapes, ruderal cenostructures were completely eliminated from the
vegetation, instead, “quasi-steppe” and petrophytic communities, similar to natural ones in terms of floral composition, were formed. The share of woody
vegetation is higher in the territorial dumps structure in the north of the region, compared to the dumps in the central part; at the same time, in the northern part of Kryvyi Rih there is a predominance of representatives of the aboriginal flora in the cenostructures. The presence of drought-resistant adventitious species in the woody vegetation increases as the dumps move south along the
latitudinal gradient and the contours of the vegetation themselves shift from the plateau to the slopes with more favourable microclimatic conditions. The regularity of territorial differentiation is the presence of significant areas of ecotopes without vegetation on the steep slopes of all the investigated dumps.
We associate the further stage of their overgrowth with the development of tree-shrub communities. Prospects for further research are to use them in the organization of the ecological monitoring system of technogenesis zones of the Kryvyi Rih region.
