On the basis of many years of research we studied features of ecological niches of communities of terrestrial molluscs, which are formed on rekultozems Nikopol manganese ore basin. The studies were conducted during 2012-2014 yy. on site remediation of Nikopol manganese ore basin in Pokrov. It has been shown that the electrical conductivity of the soil serves as an informative marker of the spatial distribution of landsnails. In specific terms informational role of electrical conductivity due to the variability of the humidity mode, humidity variation mode features mineral food and nutrient content. It is proved that the aggregate structure of the soil is an important source of information on environmental conditions, which define the characteristics of the ecological niche of terrestrial molluscs. Most sensitive to the aggregate structure landsnails species are B. cylindrica, are somewhat less susceptible M. cartusiana and are least susceptible Ch. tridens. The most sensitive to landsnails pedozemov aggregate structure, and the least susceptible - to the aggregate structure of the soil sod-lіtogennyc gray-green clay. In the overwhelming number of cases molluscs adversely react to an increase in the content of fine aggregate tehnozemah fractions (size 1 mm). By variability of soil hardness most sensitive landsnails Ch. tridens, somewhat less sensitive - M. cartusiana, and least sensitive - B. cylindrica. The highest value for the determination of the ecological niche of landsnails has a hardness of sod-lithogenic soils on red-brown clay, and least of all - for tehnozemov gray-green clay. The role of soil hardness quite vidospetsifchna. Physiognomic types of vegetation are valuable information predictors properties ecological niche terrestrial molluscs biogeocoenoses formed on tehnozemah. In most physiognomic structure of vegetation determines the particular ecological niche M. cartusiana, a little less - Ch. tridens and least sensitive to the structure of vegetation is B. cylindrica. Increase of cover crops increases the number of landsnails. Uncovered soil surface and dead cover are negative factors which adversely affect the terrestrial mollusks. The most sensitive to environmental regimes established by a phytoindication are M. cartusiana. This type is slightly inferior to B. cylindrica and least sensitive is the clam Ch. tridens. The most sensitive molluscs to environmental regimes, which are established on the basis of phytoindication in pedozemah slightly less sensitive - in tehnozemah to red-brown clays, and least sensitive - in tehnozemah gray-green clays and loams on loess. moisture regime variability adversely affect the landsnails, while the humidity edafotopa itself has a positive effect. Mineralization and termoklimat helping to increase the number of clams. established via phytoindication are M. cartusiana. This type is slightly inferior to B. cylindrica and least sensitive is the clam Ch. tridens.
