It is published bimonthly with circulation of 1000 copies. The decisive criterion for accepting a manuscript for publication is scientific quality. All research articles published in this journal have undergone a rigorous peer review. Based on initial screening by the editors, each paper is anonymized and reviewed by at least two anonymous referees. Recommending the articles for publishing, the reviewers confirm that in their opinion the submitted article contains important or new scientific results.

This study represents a characteristic of sewage sludge as a potential nitrogen-phosphoric fertilizer for the remediation of toxic and sterile substrates, which compose storage of industrial waste. In 1996, a group of scientists launched a demonstrational project of sanitary erosion-preventive recultivation on the tailing dump of Abagurskaya agglomeration factory. Using comparative-geographical and comparative-genetic methods of research, the authors give the characteristics of the soil-ecological condition of key areas of the tailing dump. The study reveals, the features of structure of the reference soil profiles and characteristics of their main physical and chemical indicators (humus content, caution-exchange capacity, the value of pH and granulometric composition). Also it represents data of correlation of different groups of plants in the structure of phytocenoses on key areas. The species composition of the vegetation is largely determined by the soil-ecological conditions of those areas. So, introduction of sewage sludge on the surface of the tailing dump caused considerable artificial improvement of edaphic state, good soil-ecological condition of technogenic soil and increase of species diversity of plant groups on recultivated site as compared to self-growing area.
