Use of microbiological indicators for evaluating success in soil restoration after revegetation of a mining area under subtropical conditions
Volunteer revegetation of waste rock surfaces at the …
Voluntary recolonization of sulfide-bearing waste rock dumps by native vegetation is inhibited by the harsh chemical and physical conditions. The success of volunteer vegetation on the waste rock surfaces at the Bingham Canyon (Utah) porphyry copper deposit is most strongly dependent on the soil pH and salinity, and to a lesser …
Natural Revegetation of 15 Abandoned Mine Land Sites in …
Most of this AML area has undergone some natural revegetation with various grass and tree species. Many AML sites revegetate in relatively short time (i.e., 1020 yr) because they have fertile minesoils with few physical and chemical properties that limit plant establishment and growth. ... Vegetation recovery in limestone abandoned …
Influence of forest vegetation restoration on carbon …
The main factors influencing carbon storage in natural vegetation in mining areas were plot type, vegetation density and forest self-regulation practices.
Reclamation and Restoration
In more severe cases, limestone drains or artificial wetlands filter heavy metals and reduce acidity. In worst-case scenarios, active water treatment systems may be necessary. The goals for revegetation of mine sites in the National Park System are the restoration of native plant populations and patterns.
Active revegetation after mining: what is the contribution of …
In this study, we provide a global perspective of the active revegetation of mining areas without soil reconstitution based on peer-reviewed literature. Research on active revegetation of mining areas increased from the 1980s to 2017, and is highly …
Plant community development in a coal mining subsidence area…
ABSTRACT Vegetation restoration is a fundamental method of ecological reconstruction in disturbed areas, and revegetation can be achieved by passive (spontaneous succession) and active (human-induced) approaches. Plant community composition, productivity, and diversity were studied in coal mining subsidence areas …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi participate to the restoration
Mining activities lead to extremely harsh environmental conditions, generally reduce soil biodiversity, and limit natural revegetation and ecological restoration. Biotechnological treatments, based on the use of living microorganisms as arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), are essential for the recovery of soils degraded by mining. …
Issues and Challenges for Stone Mining Affected Forest Area …
The sandstone quarrying and mining in Vidhyan region of Uttar Pradesh has severely devastated the floral biodiversity of the adjacent forest area. It is necessary to conserve these areas for the protection and sustainable use of forest resources. In most of the conservation program, microbial deficiency creates problems in establishment of the …
