Abstract
The study of the vegetation re-establishment on the fallow lands was carried out north of Novokuznetsk in 2021. The article supplements previously published materials by analyzing the entire set of species included in the cenoflora of the studied communities. Nineteen complete geobotanical descriptions were made on the upland soil. Data processing was carried out using MEGATAB, TWINSPAN and PAST programs. The descriptions were divided into 4 homogeneous groups: young fallows, middle-aged fallows, old fallows and secondary steppe dry meadows. These groups were analyzed using such indicators as cenoflora volume, ecological composition of cenoflora, ecological-cenotic composition, height and projective cover of grass-side. It was found that the number of species in the cenoflora increases more than twofold from young deposits to secondary steppe dry meadows. Mesophytes prevail in the ecological composition of cenoflora at all stages of succession, and the share of mesoxerophytes increases in the process of succession. The ecological and cenotic composition of the grass cover changes as follows: weedy species, which were predominant at the initial stages, disappear, the diversity of meadow grasses increases, and the share and diversity of meadow-steppe species also increase.
