Abstract
Research was directed towards the collection of phytocenologic, dendrologic and site-related data in the area of interest. From March 2012 to the end of November 2012, 19 spoil heaps situated in mining claims within the Ostrava-Karviná Coalfield, in the cadastral areas of municipalities of Doubrava, Horní Suchá, Karviná-Doly, Karviná – Louky, Ostrava, Paskov, Rychvald, Staříč and Stonava were mapped. The subject of research is plant communities in various stages of spontaneous succession in reclaimed and unreclaimed areas, site conditions; the research is focused on assessing the significance of specific nutrients to the development of herb and woody plant compositions of stands growing on the brownfield sites. Based on the results, the biodiversity in both the layers was found in the case of areas reclaimed technically and biologically with soiling was the lowest.
