DYNAMICS OF SALIFICATION AND HUMIDITY OF SUBSTRATES IN COAL MINE DUMPS IN DONBASS AREA
It has been shown that field humidity and salification of substrates in coal mine dumps vary during the vegetative period. These variations depend on the location of the plot under examination on the dump, the presence or absence of the plant cover and the month. The inverse relation of the salt content and its humidity in the substrate of coal mine dumps has been determined which could be accounted for by moisture “pulling up” during evaporation and “getting down” during atmospheric precipitation and moisture condensation
