Large-scale solar power plants are being developed at a rapid rate, and are setting up to
use thousands or millions of acres of land globally. The environmental issues related to the …

In forest ecosystems, trees represent the major primary producers and affect the chemical
composition and microbial processes in the ecosystem via specific litter chemistry and …

Coal mining activities are causing an extensive range of environmental issues at both
operating and abandoned mine sites. It is one of the most environmentally destructive …

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 …

Despite the increasing evidence that post-mining sites often provide biodiversity refuges in
anthropogenically impacted landscapes, thus offering valuable analogues of natural …

Questions (1) How do seres differ with respect to vegetation changes?(2) What are the
directions of succession?(3) How do species numbers change?(4) How do target species, ie …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) community assembly during primary succession has so
far received little attention. It remains therefore unclear, which of the factors, driving AMF …

Highly disturbed areas such as surface‐mined land provide a great challenge for ecological
restoration. The goal is to identify appropriate restoration approaches in a continuum …

The aim of this work was to quantify the effects of vegetation on the activity of extracellular
enzymes in the litter and soil. To achieve this, we investigated a set of post-mining sites in a …

As an anthropogenic element of urban landscapes, coal heaps undergo changes due to
both natural and anthropogenic factors. The aim of this study was to determine the common …
