Two-hundred-three species of vascular plants, 50 species of bryophyte and 41 species of lichens have been found on dredging and hydraulic gold-mining sites in the taiga zone of the lower Amur River basin. The main features of the anthropogenic relief and vegetation have been described. Dredging and hydraulic dumps are supposed to have the biggest similarity in the species composition and set of ecologo-phytocenotic elements, while the biggest difference is observed between dredging and hydraulic dumps on the one hand and pockets and settling pits, on the other. According to the data obtained in different regions, the species diversity of vascular plants growing on dredging and hydraulic gold-mining sites is quite rich.
