Abstract

The purpose of the research was to study the invasions of plants into communities of initial stages of regenerative successions in landscapes of the southeast of Belarus (by the example of Solidago canadensis L.). Intrusion of Solidago canadensis L. into the plant succession had the following consequences: decrease in specific abundance, suppression of arboreal undergrowth, long preservation of high level of synanthropization, and inhibition of the directed changes in plant communities.
