Mining of mineral resources results in extensive soil damage, altering microbial communities
and affecting vegetation leading to destruction of vast amounts of land. Reclamation is the …

The primary producers and processes of matter and energy flow, reflected by the soil
enzyme activity, are the basics of all ecosystem functioning processes. This paper reviews …

Success in the remediation of mine spoil depends largely on the selection of appropriate
tree species. The impacts of remediation on mine soil quality cannot be sufficiently assessed …

Assessment of mine soil quality is the key parameter for evaluation of reclamation success.
To investigate the effect of vegetation on mine soil development and reclamation …

The effects of tree species differing in foliage and litter chemistry on the chemical, micro-
morphological, and biological properties of soil were studied on post-mining sites afforested …

Abstract Knowledge about biotic (plant species diversity, biomass) and/or abiotic
(physicochemical substrate parameters) factors that determine enzyme activity and …

Reestablishment of soil microbial communities is a prerequisite for successful reclamation of
post-mining barrens. The objective of this study was to assess the effect of texture of soil …

In the time of ongoing climate change and the increasing area of post-mining landscape, the
successful afforestation of reclamation sites by suitable adaptive tree species is gaining in …

In India forest tree species are commonly used for reclamation of coal mine degraded land,
thus selection of appropriate species is essential. Degree of amelioration of rhizosphere …

Changes in the activity of extracellular enzymes (cellobiohydrolase, β-glucosidase, β-
xylosidase, chitinase, arylsulfatase and phosphatases) and the changes in microbial …
