The Influence of the Specificity of the Soil Cover of Post-Technogenic Landscapes of Kuzbass on the Restoration of Communities of Carabid Beetles (Coleopter, Carabidae).

The ecological condition of the soil cover of technologically disturbed areas was studied. It has been established that the general soil-ecological state of the plots with agricultural re-cultivation and self-restoration is characterized, as a good one, with the forest re-cultivation — as satisfactory. Communities of carabid beetles at the dumps of the forest-steppe zone of Siberia are formed according to the meadow type. In the surveyed dumps, in 30 years, the carabid beetles communities are gradually restored, but not in full strength. In the area with forest remediation, forest species begin to be settled, however, representatives of the meadow cenosis are also preserved. From this it follows that the forest direction of remediation requires more time to restore the population of carabid beetles, corresponding to the established biocenosis.
