“…Studies on the formation of ground beetle communities in post-technological territories have been conducted in Germany (Vowinkel 1988;Donath 1990;Vogel & Dunger 1991;Haag & Depenbusch 1995;Durka et al 1997;Dunger et al 2001), Czech Republic (Dolný 2000;Novotná & Šťastná 2012), Poland (Schwerk & Szyszko 2011), Belgium (Baguette & Devahif 1988), USA (McCravy & Willand 2005), Austria (Sigmund & Waitzbaukr 2007), Estonia (Kalda et al 2015), and Russia (Luzyanin et al 2015;Luzyanin & Eremeeva 2018;Mordkovich & Lyubechanskii 2019a, b). Most authors note that technogenic territories form a type of habitat where complexes of ground beetles are formed which significantly differ from the surrounding natural cenoses.…”

Coal mining has a strong negative impact on the environment. It transforms natural landscapes into technogenic ones with high rock embankments and deep depressions, i.e., dumps and quarries. Such areas are good model sites for studying primary successions. Using the example of the Krasnobrodsky coal mine, this paper investigates the ecological and faunal structure of the ground beetle communities which inhabit the rock dumps of various ages in the forest-steppe zone in the south of Western Siberia. A total of 125 ground beetle species from 38 genera were collected. It was also established that fresh dumps were quickly populated by ground beetles. The basis of the taxocene is formed by species with high ecological plasticity, confined to anthropogenic biotopes. According to the Principal Component Analysis (PCA), ground beetle communities in dumps differ from native reference ecosystems. The Jaccard similarity index between 2- and 7-year-old dumps was 54%, while for the control zone and the site at the foot of the 25-year-old dump, this value was 68%. During 35 years of succession, the species composition of carabidocenoses varied, while the species abundance and dynamic density decreased (r = -0.78, p < 0.001). A wide range of life forms has been established for ground beetles. This indicates the active development of ecological niches, formed in technogenically transformed territories. This study demonstrates that the time interval of 35 years used for consideration is insufficient for recovering ground beetle communities to a climax state, typical to the ecosystems of a corresponding forest-steppe zone.

Technogenic landscapes formed by coal mining are unique model sites for studying primary succession. We studied the formation of arthropod communities on rock dumps at coal mine dump sites of different ages and in natural environments. Using the pitfall traps, 5 classes of arthropods were found, with the domination of Insecta and Arachnida. The species composition for most of the studied groups of invertebrates was determined, the Berger-Parker dominance and Shannon species diversity indices were calculated. It has been established that the colonization of dumps depends not only on the age of recultivated lands, but also on habitat conditions (soil characteristics, vegetation parameters). At the beginning of the succession, dumps are massively populated by small-sized species that are tolerant of extreme conditions and have high dispersal abilities. Further development of vegetation entailed a change in the general structure of the ground-dwelling of arthropods communities. Discriminant analysis showed that the macrofauna of the compared sites differs statistically significantly in the space of discriminant functions. The areas at the foot of the dump and the natural biotope are characterized by the maximum differences; the greatest similarity was found between the young and old dumps. A significant contribution to the overall discrimination is made by the beetles of the families Geotrupidae, Staphylinidae, Elateridae, as well as centipedes (Chilopoda), and terrestrial bugs (Hemiptera). This study showed that communities of ground invertebrates are good indicators for monitoring the restoration of technogenically disturbed lands.
