What is Revegetation and Why is it Important?
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 …

Despite the urgent demand for sustainable mining, the revegetation and rehabilitation of areas degraded by mining activities remain challenging. Uncer…
Ecological restoration of coal mine degraded soils across arid and semi-arid environments worldwide remains particularly challenging. We used a combination of greenhouse and field experiments to assess the potential role of a woody species, Ulmus pumila, in the restoration of degraded soils associated with coal-mining activities in the northwest China.
Use of microbiological indicators for evaluating success in soil restoration after revegetation of a mining area under subtropical conditions I. Izquierdoa, F. Caravacab,*, M.M. Alguacilb, G ...
The levels of most of the soil physiochemical properties and microbial community did not recover to those in the nonsubsidence areas even after 15 years of revegetation, under both passive and active revegetation in semiarid coal mining subsidence areas.
Aims Vegetation type is one of the most important contributing factors to changes in soil properties during the rehabilitation of mining areas. However, there is still insufficient awareness regarding the relationship between soil properties and the function of soil microbes in C/N metabolism in different revegetation types. Methods Plots were …
Further study on options for promoting natural revegetation on reclaimed mine sites is needed. A pre-restoration survey of sites could help identify areas that already have …
This finding confirms our hypothesis that the modification of the vegetation affects the composition of soil yeast communities, i.e., increased species richness in the Revegetated area following the secondary succession caused by mining activity (e.g., removal of native vegetation covers and revegetation with grasses).
Nevertheless, vegetation restoration has been widely used in mining areas, but the response of soil microbial community structures and their functions to different vegetations has not yet been well characterized in the mining areas of the Loess Plateau, China.
Rare-earth mining has caused extensive damage to soil, vegetation, and water, significantly threatening ecosystems. Monitoring environmental disturbance caused by rare-earth mining is necessary to protect the ecological environment. A spatiotemporal remote sensing monitoring method for mining to reclamation processes in a rare-earth …
Comparative plant successional studies on derelict sites are providing significant insights into vegetation dynamics to ensure the success of future revegetation projects in these areas and, in the short-term, by using a space-for-time substitution.
Highlights. •. Functional and phylogenetic methods guide the effective rehabilitation of mine land. •. The combination of species used for rehabilitation may be …

To fully deploy phytoremediation technology in old mining areas, further basic and applied research are required. ... For these reasons, the revegetation of mining areas has been identified as an efficient way to reduce environmental risks by stabilizing mining soil. The greening of disturbed ecosystems not only improves their aesthetics but ...
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 …
The rehabilitation of these post-mining areas has been achieved to a greater extent through the application of revegetation and soil substrate management programs (Bucka et al., 2021; Sudarmadji ...
revegetation after mining around the world can help to identify well established successful practices and therefore drive future research to improve the success of mining site restoration. In this study, we performed a systematic review of the peer-reviewed literature on active revegetation after mining to identify the main research trends and ...

The present paper reviews the importance of the native plant species and their efficacy in restoring degraded mined land based on area and time of succession …
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 …
Therefore, soil N shortage might inhibit plant restoration even though the restoration lasted more than twenty years in post-mining areas. 5. Conclusions. In summary, the revegetation types had significant effects on soil C, N stocks and soil C:N, C:P values while soil P stock showed no significant difference.
