metadata.value: The issues of vegetation cover dynamics in the Chernobyl accident area considered in the article.
  The research carried out within the boundaries of the Polessky State Radiation-Ecological Reserve. The objects of research are the flora and vegetation of the region. The research is
  based on as classical methods for studying flora and vegetation, as modern ones, using a longterm
  archive of Landsat satellite imagery. The article interprets that the flora and vegetation
  transformation processes of the Chernobyl exclusion zone are mainly due to natural changes
  and anthropogenically stimulated processes associated with the economic activity cessation.
  The authors noted a progressive increase of the vascular plant species number within the Reserve,
  which explained by the restoration processes beginning of the vegetation cover after
  the population evacuation and the economic activity complete stopping. The spatial isolation
  of the Polessky State Radiation-Ecological Reserve territory led to the preservation of flora
  synanthropization level, similar to the end of the 1980s. Evacuated settlements, wastelands,
  former arable lands, linear objects (roads) and other former anthropogenic habitats are the
  retention and penetration centers of synanthropic species within the Reserve. The forested territory
  increasing is a key moment of the vegetation demutational successions in the Chernobyl
  exclusion zone. A large increase of derived small-leaved forests participation characterizes
  the dynamics of the forest vegetation formational structure during the post-accident period.
  Indigenous coniferous and deciduous fen forests also tend to distribution increase, but their
  dynamics is not rapid. Forests formation, bushing, waterlogging due to the degradation of
  drainage systems are the processes of meadow dynamics. Fragments of unchanged meadows
  preserved only in the Pripyat River floodplain. Restoration of bog-forming processes observed
  on disturbed peatlands, part of unforested fens transformed into forested fens, sparse forests
  and shrub thickets in the post-accident period. The processes of forest formation, local
  swamping prevail on the former agricultural and residential lands.
