Abstract—Alpha-, beta-, and gamma-diversity on the industrial dumps in northwestern and southern Yakutia
was studied with regard to the stage of progressive succession, the type of substrate, and relative height of the
dumps. The results showed that the process of “self-recultivation” is more intense at the lower level on drag
rock substrates and under warmer climate conditions in the southern regions.
