Man-disturbed areas of the coal- and oil industry and measured to phytomelioration

Abstract

The problem of the environment pollution in Sokal and Drohobych districts of Lviv region and Dolyna districts of Ivano-Frankivsk region due to different types of man-made pollution is considered. The influence of coal and oil industry wastes on the ecological status of these territories has been analyzed. Basic species of plants for phytomelioration of man-disturbed areas are listed. It is shown that by phytomelioration of man-disturbed areas of the Chervonograd industrial coal-mining region can be performed by Calamagrostis epigeios (L.) Roth, Brassica napus var. olei-fera, Salix caprea L., Pinus sylvestris L., Betula pendula L., Polygonum cuspidatum Sieb. Et Zucc. і Petasites hybridus L., and for oil-contaminated areas – by Carex hirta L., Vicia faba var. minor, Soja japonica Savi. The biochemical aspects of species adaptation to toxic factors of anthropogenic areas, their role in the environment formation and protective functions have been analyzed.
