The result of floristic survey of test areas was fixing of growth of eighty-one species of herbaceous plants from 28 families, including 1 species listed in the Red Book of Russia and 1 species listed in the Red Book of Voronezh Region. Analysis of concentration of copper (Cu), nickel (Ni) and lead (Pb) in soil and plant samples did not reveal maximum permissible concentration. Samples of analyzed plant of shelter belts and agrocenoses have the highest storage capacity of heavy metals (Cu – 3.3-3.6 mg / kg, Ni – 0.4-0.45 mg / kg, Pb – 0.05 mg / kg), virgin meadows - the smallest (Cu – 1.1 mg / kg, Ni – 0.11 mg / kg, Pb – traces).
