The impact of pollution by nickel leaching rest was studied along an 8.5 km long transection in the arable land around an extensive dump of nickel leaching rest. The fall of nickel leaching rest had no influence on the cumulative abundance and biomass of the taxacoenoses of the 3 families. It caused, however, a visible decline in species number and strong structural changes in the taxocoenoses in the area of the fall intensity exceeding 800 t km** (-2) per year and provoked striking changes in sex ratio of individual carabid species already in the area of fall intensity exceeding 300 t km** (-2) per year.
