Abstract
Exploatation of sulphur very devastated terrains, which after recultivation were established. There were 3 directions of recultivation and namely: forest, grassland and water. On the forest recultivation the next trees were planted: Pinus sylvestris, Betula pendula, Quercus rubra and forest mixed. Today the forests on recultivation areas are about 20 years old. In June 2013 year was made assessment of state post recultivation establishment. It was found, that forests grow well and renaturalize slowly. The most plant species appeared spontaneously in the Birch stand tree and least in Pine stand trees. Beside the planted trees grow also no planted for example: Populus tremula, Acer pseudoplatanus, Quercus robor, Fraxinus excelsior, Robinia pseudoacacia, Tilia cordata and other. The forest condition is good. More renaturalized are grasslands, which were sown. Their botanical composition is similar to the natural grasslands which were no devastated by sulphur exploitation. In the result of recultivation on mention area there are water reservoirs in which there are fishes an avifauna. They ornament also landscape and enrich biodiversity of environment. General conclusion: recultivation restored environment to the natural state.
