The article presents results of the studies of ruderal vegetation of the class Artemisietea vulgaris in Kryvyi Rih. Ruderal plant communities composed of tall biennial and perennial species in the open, moderately moistened and dry ecotopes are characterized. Vegetation of the class Artemisietea vulgaris is represented by 11 associations and 5 communities, 3 alliances and 2 orders. Their features in comparison to the communities in other regions of Ukraine are established. Results of the ordination analysis indicate that ecological differentiation of syntaxa of the investigated class in Kryvyi Rih is defined by a set of basic environmental factors, including variability of soil humidity, acidity, salt regime, and nitrogen content.

Keywords: syntaxonomy, classification, Artemisietea vulgaris, ecological differentiation, Kryvyi Rih
