Introduction. Open-pit mining can cause extremely severe damage to the ecosystem on the earth surface. Soil and vegetation damage is widespread in the open-pit mining area (Wang et al., 2016).The local eco-environment is usually altered, which further affects the biodiversity and functional stability of the ecosystem (Li et al., 2014; Baldrian, …
Surface mining is recognized as one of the essential anthropogenic activities which drastically disturbs the ecosystem. To offset the impacts of surface mining, revegetation is widely used to restore the disturbed landscape. The present field study was carried out to assess the status of an ecosystem structure, soil quality and C pool of the …

The trial was established on a slope of the spoils heap, which had a steep inclination (78%). The spoils derived from fragmentation of limestone, which lays on top of the bauxite ore in the natural geological strata of the area, and contain coarse fragments of varying size from boulders to thin clay powder.

There is also research on revegetation and reclamation of metalliferous mine wastes and other anthropogenically disturbed areas [16][17][18] [19] [20], where the authors showed the role of natural ...
The paper provides a scientific assessment of the existing vegetation of limestone mining wastelands through field surveys and physicochemical analysis of soil and water. ... soil erosion-sedimentation land revegetation (planted areas, growth percentage, plant species, the composition of fast-growing and long-lived species, plant health ...
Study area. The study area is located in a limestone quarry in Serra Mitjana, Alicante, southeastern Spain (38°22′33.3″ N, 0°35′28.4″ W). ... Opencast mining has produced a large number of high and steep rock slopes, leading to serious safety and environmental challenges. ... Use of assisted natural succession in revegetation of ...
The results of this study suggest that natural successional processes can be used to rehabilitate the vertical cliff faces that are produced in limestone quarry operations and allow the recruitment of an uncommon, but native component of biodiversity. 1. Revegetation dynamics on vertical cliff faces in abandoned limestone quarries were …
The revegetation of steep slopes after mining and infrastructure projects is not an easy task. To enhance the effectiveness of revegetation projects, the present study aimed to review (i) specific ...
Here, we characterized and compared the living soil fungal communities in an opencast limestone mine, including mining site and its associated rehabilitation site (9 months post-rehabilitation ...
The soil physicochemical properties were significantly different among the five revegetation types in the mining subsidence area (Table 1). Soil pH in AF was significantly lower than in the other revegetation types. The concentrations of SOC, TN, NH 4 +-N, and NO 3 –-N in AF and HR were significantly higher than in the other revegetation ...
The study area has a history of more than 3000 years of copper mining and smelting, more than 1700 years of iron ore mining and smelting, and more than 600 years of limestone mining and smelting (Luo et al., 2015). However, after more than 70 years of large-scale mechanized mining since the founding of New China, the main mineral …
Revegetation is a vital step in facilitating a successful soil restoration in disturbed lands. It can occur naturally through plant succession and colonization or accelerated human-driven land changes meant to repair damage caused by severe events like floods, wildfire, or mining. The original technique involved applying fertilizer and …
Open-pit mining has caused extensive land destruction, including land abandonment and reduction in agricultural land, resulting in serious environmental problems. Ecological restoration and mine reclamation have become important components of the sustainable development strategies in Inner Mongolia, China. Therefore, the …
We assessed, in a field experiment, the effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (Rhizophagus intraradices) and plant growth-promoting bacteria (Azospirillum brasilense) on the soil biological activity and the growth of key pioneer species used in the revegetation of coal-mining areas undergoing recovery.We applied four inoculation …
Mining exerts a lot of pressure on the land resources further depleting the fertility of the soil. The overburdened dumps are devoid of the nutrients which turns natural succession at a slow pace. The restoration of the degraded mined areas is essential to re-establish the ecological balance so that a self-sustaining ecosystem can be maintained.
Revegetation activities can improve the condit ion of the post-coal mining land. In addition, the In addition, the existence of vegetation planting f or revegetation can encourage and accelerate ...
Low toxicity and ecosystem regeneration evidences, observed in surficial levels of proximal or intermediate areas, suggest that revegetation plans can be achieved in a short time, by providing a stable and sustainable physical structure (macropores, and natural or artificial water-stable aggregates, etc.), and using well adapted autochthonous ...

Restoration of mining areas is a legal requirement in Brazil to obtain mining permits and it includes several steps to be implemented, including topsoil removal and storage, landscape architecture to minimize landslides, revegetation with native plant species, and monitoring to assess restoration progress (Skirycz et al., 2014).
Regeneration after landslides is how an ecosystem recovers itself following a landslide event. Natural systems can recover and regenerate over time. The main objective of the current work is to identify and characterise the regeneration pattern after a great landslide event in 2013 in the Guerrero state (Mexico) using remote sensing, geographic …
