Vascular plant occurrences and community hemeroby levels on reclaimed mining technosols in Pokrov, Ukraine

The study was carried out on artificial technosols formed after surface manganese mining. The aim was to evaluate the relationship between plant community composition, hemeroby as a phytoindicator of anthropogenic transformation, and physical soil properties.

Occurrence data were collected across multiple 3×3 m plots placed in various technosol types (pedosols and lithosols). For each plot, species identity, projective cover, and calculated community hemeroby level were documented. The dataset supports research on ecological restoration, vegetation succession, and biodiversity monitoring in post-mining landscapes.
