There is not a uniform conclusion when assessing the importance of spontaneous and assisted succession. The paper deals with an analysis of arguments in the field of land reclamation using unassisted and spontaneous succession. Two different spoil banks were used as a model territory, one in the Sokolov region, the other in Chomutov region. The extent of the paper does not allow a detailed description of particular methods and procedures. Nevertheless, it points out the changes in the perception of succession on spoil banks, including the issue of biodiversity.
