Investigation of Ecosystem Restoration at Sites of Spent Coal Deposits in the Regions of the Urals Using Remote Sensing Resources

The results of assessing the ecological state of lands disturbed during the open-cut mining of four coal deposits in the Sverdlovsk and Chelyabinsk regions are presented. In the course of the studies carried out using the results of remote monitoring, it was found that ecologically acceptable restoration of vegetation cover on the territory of disturbed lands occurs as a result of reclamation work and natural processes of its self-restoration.
