The undisturbed site harbored 40 herbaceous species making up 87% of the absolute cover. AM colonization was recorded in 25 species accounting for 77% of the relative cover. Species with 51-75% AM root colonization such as Festuca ovina and Leontodon hispidus dominated the undisturbed turf, contributing 45% to the relative cover. Carex ssp. were the most abundant nonmycorrhizal plants and accounted for 9% of the relative cover. Spores of Glomus aggregatum, G. constrictum, G. fasciculatum, G. pansihalos, Glomus sp. and Entrophospora sp. averaged 25 per 100 g dry substrate at the undisturbed site. The disturbed site was colonized by 25 species accounting for 17% of the absolute cover. Among the AM plants, most abundant were the species with up to 20% AM root colonization, such as Agrostis stolonifera and Thymus pulegioides, wich accounted for 24% of the relative cover. Nonmycorrhizal species, such as Biscutella laevigata, Cardaminopsis arenosa, Gypsophila fastigiata and Silene vulgaris, dominated the early succession community and contributed 64% to the relative cover. Spores of G. fasciculatum and Entrophospora sp. averaged 20 per 100 g dry substrate at the disturbed site. © Springer-Verlag 1996.10aArbuscular mycorrhizal fungi10aCalamine spoil mound10aHeavy metals10aMycorrhiza1 aPawlowska, T, E1 aBłaszkowski, J1 aRühling, Å  uhttp://www.scopus.com/scopus/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-0030301870&partnerID=40&rel=R6.5.0
