ABSTRACT

Western Siberia, which is rich in different mineral resource deposits, has become an area of large mining and processing complexes. The problems of remediating degraded soils related to industrial expansion are topical. The remediation process strategy is based on the technical and biological steps of works. Usage of biological methods provides more complete and rapid restoration of ecological functions in technogenic landscapes. Vermitechnology (earthworm technology) has a high potential in biological remediation.
