This study analyzes the influence of living vegetation on the renewal of tree species on post-agrogenic lands. To assess the influence of factors on the development of living ground cover and the renewal of wood vegetation, Ramensky amplitude ecological scales were applied. More than half of the plants in the studied plots are mesophytes and their share in the total projective cover is more than 75%. The emergence of undergrowth of tree species is most influenced by grass. The study shows that the ecological ranges reflect the confinement of the species to certain amplitudes of environmental conditions. A rapid or slow reduction in the abundance of cenopopulation of one or another species is associated with an increase or decrease in the impact of a particular environmental factor. With an increase in the total projective cover of living ground cover, the number of undergrowth is significantly reduced, and vice versa, the formed undergrowth limits the development of the cover vegetation due to advantages in the competition for light, moisture, and nutrients.
