To reveal general regularities of recovery processes on technologically disturbed areas of the Far North, the comparison of the floristic composition of vegetation was made in quarries in 7 areas from European-West Siberian and Chukotka floristic provinces of the Arctic. 143 species from 30 families were recorded in 17 quarries located in the forest tundra and southern hypoarctic tundra of the North­west Siberia; and 159 species from 29 families in 14 quarries in the northern and southern hypoarctic tundra of Chukotka. 48 species and 25 families were common to the both lists. The comparative analy­sis of species composition, life forms and ecological groups of vegetation in the 31 quarries was made. Maximum similarity (50—57 %) in species composition was established for the quarries located in the same area, though each of them had its specific set of colonizing species. No uniformity of species composition was found in the quarries vegetation. The analysis of life forms and ecological groups sho­wed clear similarity between the quarries of the same floristic province, geobotanical subzone, or with similar ground texture.
