| dc.description.abstract | The current state of the environment caused by irrational nature
management necessitates the search for new approaches in the field of
restoration and protection of biotic and landscape diversity. The new strategy
for its protection is an ecological network that is being developed in Ukraine
according to European requirements at the national, regional, and local levels.
An integral part of the national eco-network is the territory of Podillia, for
which an important topical issue is increasing the productivity of ecosystems
and stabilising the ecological balance. One of the ways to optimise the regional
eco-network of Podillia is to search for promising territories and include them in
structural elements that will ensure its spatial integrity and representativeness.
The most common objects of mining and industrial landscapes are quarrydump complexes that are original in their origin, structure, conditions, natural
properties, spatial location, features of the geological structure, the nature
of the biotic-landscape structure, and economic development. Therefore, the
purpose of this study is to identify and describe the specific features of mining
and industrial landscapes that require a set of measures for renaturalisation
(reclamation, restoration of natural vegetation, reintroduction, etc.) within the
latitudinal Buzhotsko-Buzko-Vovksko-Smotrytskyi eco-corridor of the regional
eco-network of Podillia. General scientific (analysis, synthesis), laboratory and
field methods, monitoring, comparison and statistical processing methods
were used in this study. Factors of influence for the restoration of disturbed
ecosystems of mining and industrial landscapes of Podillia were determined
on the example of the Andriikovetskyi sand quarry and dump complex. It is
established that edaphic conditions, elemental composition and organic matter
content in the newly formed substrate, atypical relief, which differs sharply
from the natural one, have the greatest influence. With the implementation
of a set of measures for renaturalisation, the proposed quarry-dump complex
can become a centre of zonal biodiversity as a renewable site – as a structural
element of the regional eco-network | uk_UA |
