ABSTRACT: When reclaiming the surface of the Radovesická dump in the North Bohemian
brown coal basin, the most commonly used marls and marlstones are
extracted in the foreland of filled-in territory. The most frequent reclamations
are the formation of overgrown and humus anthroposoil. The soil properties
of the anthroposoils for forestry purposes and the growth vitality of a broader
assortment of woody plants in the age of 12 - 14 years are evaluated. It has
been found that the very good growth vitality on these anthroposoils is shown
by most of the trees of domestic origin (Populus nigra L., Acer pseudoplatanus L., Pinus sylvestris L., Alnus glutinosa (L.) Gaertn., Fraxinus excelsior L., Betula verrucosa Ehrh., Quercus robur L., Tilia cordata Mill.), including some
of the tree species introduced (Larix decidua L., Pinus nigra Arn.) and reclamations
of atypical atrophic soil horizons did not negatively affect their development.
