Abstract
Features of progressive successions in the landscapes with different levels of anthropogenic transformation (the southeast of Belarus) are considered. The comparative analysis of succession characteristics in weakly and strongly disturbed landscapes is performed. It is established that succession in strongly disturbed landscape differs by the slower speed of changes of the vegetation and essential delay at early stages (including initial stages). Strongly disturbed landscapes are characterized by the high degree of synanthropization and a significant level of invasion at all the stages of succession.
