One of the result of human economy activity is the existence of expanse areas being post-industrial west lands - without plant cover and its surface is usually covered by specific substratum (e.g. coal dust) By means of transect system it has been investigated which species, and how fast manage to establish on those habitats. New data for species observed by such methods have been obtained. The investigation on primary succession on coal mine sedimentation pools (lagoons) has been carried out for seven years on 137 objects (few hectares each). The presented paper contains: the list of grass species observed on (all 137) objects; ecological characteristics of stated species; the frequency of the plants occurrence; the participation of grasses among species which establish first on the bare coal dust substratum; the grass participation in flora composition during the plant cover development; the grasses participation in plant communities. There are some grass species which occur quite often on the investigated objects such as: Agropyron repens, Agrostis stolonifera, Apera spica-venti, Calamagrostis epigejos, Dactylis glomerata, Deschampsia caespitosa, Festuca rubra, Holcus lanatus, Lolium perenne, Phragmites australis, Poa annua, Poa compressa subsp. compressa and Poa pratensis. Many aspects of the problem of plant cover creation on post-industrial wastelands still need to be explained.
