The total number of microorganisms and nitrogen fixers capable of phosphate solubilization and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) synthesis was analyzed in the rhizosphere of two pioneer (<italic>Alopecurus aequalis</italic>, <italic>Ranunculus sceleratus</italic>) and two late successional (<italic>Poa pratensis</italic>, <italic>R. auricomus</italic>) plant species. Higher N and P content and lower N/P ratio were found in the leaves of dicot grasses compared to cereals. The number of nitrogen fixers in the rhizosphere of dicots was higher, which coincided with the higher content of total nitrogen in it. The proportion of nitrogen fixers with an increased ability to phosphate solubilize and IAA produce was significantly higher in the early stages of ash dump overgrowth.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Исследовано содержание азота (N) и фосфора (P) в листьях 6 видов злаков и 18 видов небобовых двудольных трав, а также непосредственно в субстратах нерекультивированных участков двух разновозрастных золоотвалов. Проанализировано общее количество микроорганизмов и азотфиксаторов, способных к фосфатсолюбилизации и синтезу индолил-3-уксусной кислоты (ИУК) в ризосфере двух пионерных (<italic>Alopecurus aequalis</italic>, <italic>Ranunculus sceleratus</italic>) и двух позднесукцессионных (<italic>Poa pratensis</italic>, <italic>R. auricomus</italic>) видов растений. Обнаружено более высокое содержание N и P и более низкое соотношение N/P в листьях двудольных трав по сравнению со злаками. Численность азотфиксаторов в ризосфере двудольных была выше, что совпадало с более высоким содержанием в ней общего азота. Доля азотфиксаторов, обладающих повышенной способностью к солюбилизации фосфатов и продукции ИУК, была существенно больше на ранних этапах зарастания золоотвала.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>monocot plants</kwd><kwd>non-legume dicot plants</kwd><kwd>fly ash</kwd><kwd>macronutrients</kwd><kwd>young soils</kwd><kwd>plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>однодольные растения</kwd><kwd>небобовые двудольные растения</kwd><kwd>зола уноса</kwd><kwd>макроэлементы</kwd><kwd>молодые почвы</kwd><kwd>ростстимулирующие ризобактерии</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><award-group><funding-source><institution-wrap><institution xml:lang="ru">Российский научный фонд</institution></institution-wrap><institution-wrap><institution xml:lang="en">Russian Science Foundation</institution></institution-wrap></funding-source><award-id>24-26-00248</award-id></award-group></funding-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Аринушкина Е.
