Features of plant succession in landscapes disturbed by anthropogenic activity (by example of southeastern Belarus)

  • Published:
Contemporary Problems of Ecology Aims and scope

Abstract

The features of the restorative successions in landscapes with different degree of anthropogenic disturbance are considered (southeastern Belarus). The comparative analysis for succession characteristics of weakly and strongly disturbed landscapes is conducted. It is established that restorative succession in a strongly disturbed landscape is characterized by a lower plant succession rate, significant delay at the nonforest stages (including pioneering stage), high degree of synanthropization, and significant level of plant adventization at all stages.
