Dynamic of self-regeneration of vegetation cover of coal mine dumps of different ages on the steppe zone of Tuva (Russia)

“…According to many authors, vegetation cover is formed on man-made dumps on deep rocks or other substrates that are completely or almost untouched by soil formation processes, as well as on soils extremely depleted of organic substances and mineral elements [1][2][3][4][5][6]. The duration of the initial stages may increase up to an indefinite period, depending on the degree of violation and the position of the violated territory [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17].…”
