view moreRevegetation is the process of replanting and rebuilding the soil of disturbed land. This may be a natural process produced by plant colonization and succession, manmade rewilding projects, accelerated process designed to repair damage to a landscape due to wildfire, mining, flood, or other cause.Originally the process was simply one of applying seed and fertilizer to disturbed lands, usually ...

view moreThe Mineland Reclamation Act provides regulatory authority for reclamation of areas subject to mining, such as open pits, waste rock and surface material stockpiles, tailings basins, buildings and equipment, and infrastructure no longer needed for any other use. It also requires revegetation of disturbed ground, and mitigation of impacted wetlands.

view moreToday, mine reclamation may provide a unique opportunity to not just return a Midwestern stream to its pre-mined state, but improve functionality and restore/create a more natural and ecologically sound system. In recent years, increasing pressure has been put on the mining industry to improve landform reclamation and mitigation of stream impacts.

The sustainability of post-mining rehabilitation was enhanced where these links were established early, allowing for the provision of additional seed and the migration of displaced species.
view moreSelecting optimal revegetation patterns, i.e., patterns that are more effective for soil organic carbon (SOC) and total nitrogen (TN) accumulation, is particularly important for mine land reclamation. However, there have been few evaluations of the effects of different revegetation patterns on the SOC and TN in reclaimed mine soils on the Loess Plateau, China.
