“…Soil and Water Research https://doi.org/10.17221/163/2020-SWR nutrient cycling can be restored. Studies have shown that different vegetation species affect the nutrient inputs through litter differently, and that deciduous species are more preferable than coniferous ones, pointing out the positive effects of species such as the alder (Alnus glutinosa), birch (Betula pendula) and linden (Tilia cordata) (Bradshaw 1997;Filcheva et al 2000;Keplin & Hüttl 2001;Šourková et al 2005a, b;Remeš & Šíša 2007;Řehounková et al 2011;.

“…Decomposition of organic matter and nutrient cycling is largely controlled by soil microbes (Filip 2002;Moreno-de las Heras 2009;Sinha et al 2009), and the microbial activity is influenced by various soil properties, but mainly the temperature, moisture, and the availability of organic matter (Helingerová et al 2010). As stated by Remeš and Šíša (2007), a study of the biological activity can be an indicator of the soil revitalisation process on reclamation plots, and its levels make it possible to evaluate the success of different reclamation approaches. Nowadays, microbial activity can be measured through a range of…”

As stated by Šourková et al (Šourková et al 2005a;Remeš & Šíša 2007), the vegetation type and the quality of its litter are more important for the microbial activity than the substrate quality. In the research performed by Chodak and Niklinska (2010), it was shown that birch (Betula pendula) supports the largest and most active soil microbial communities (compared to Larix, Pinus and Alnus sp.…”

Open-cast coal mining presents a big global issue because of the large areas the mines occupy, which get entirely changed. Their ecosystems lose most of their functions, and a huge amount of fertile soil gets utterly destroyed. Reclamation is a process of returning the functions of the soil after the excavation is finished, most commonly achieved by establishing vegetation, which can sometimes be very difficult. This happens due to the physical, chemical and biological changes that occur on these sites, which are described in this paper. Also, some directions for mitigating these problems are given. Once the vegetation is successfully introduced, natural cycles that were compromised by the mining are established once again, and the process of soil formation begins. Some trends and problems related to pedogenesis research on reclaimed mine sites are presented and discussed, along with presumptions of how the process of soil formation evolves on afforested clayey Technosols of central Europe. The potential future research which would confirm these presumptions is discussed, with the emphasis on the need of research performed on older reclamation sites, as well as sites with similar ecological conditions and different tree species cover.

“…These locations were planted with a wide range of trees, both native Czech species and introduced species originating from other geographic areas. The reclaimed areas, or "spoil tips", represent a completely unique habitat with very rare soil conditions artificially created by human activity (Remeš and Šíša 2007). Spoil tips became the subject of interest of forestry reclamation in the second half of the last century.…”

This study deals with the characteristics of wood of two different species of oaks, the non-native northern red oak (Quercus rubra L.) and the native pedunculate oak (Quercus robur L.), growing in a reclaimed surface brown coal mine in the Czech Republic. The differences in the wood density of the aforementioned species, including the impact of position in the trunk, were examined. The impact of annual ring width and the proportion of latewood on density were also evaluated. The density of Q. robur wood reached 707 kg·m -3 , which was significantly higher than that of the North American species, which reached 654 kg·m -3 . Moreover, in the radial direction, the density increased in the direction from the pith toward the bark for both Q. rubra, and Q. robur. In the vertical direction, the density reached its highest value at the basal part of the trunk, but statistically, this assertion was only significant for Q. rubra. The effects of annual ring width and the proportion of latewood on density were shown to be statistically very low for both oak species.

“…If no measures are taken to reduce the negative impact and terms of use of rehabilitated lands, taking into account the possibility of second violations, in the near future all land plots in the Kemerovo region will be used by coal mining [11]. A comprehensive approach is required, not only to restore land resources and restore damaged ecosystems, but also to create habitats and restore biodiversity [12].…”

Disturbed Lands Reclamation Statement in the Territory of the Mokhovsky Coal Mine

The national project “Ecology” sets to bring up to date the ecological policy of the environment-geared laws of the Russian Federation which must preserve biodiversity and afford the involvement of all participants in the process. Revegetation, as part of the program, sets to restore disturbed lands to a condition suitable for their use in the national economy and prevent their anthropogenic impact on the adjacent areas. The quality of reclamation works is not always at an adequate level, which creates difficulties in the remediated lands development. This is a consequence of insufficient information at the design stage, specifically data on the composition and properties of the soil cover and worked-out rock mass, lack of special technical support for the implementation of remediation measures at the proper level, the landscape of the deposit is not taken into account during the work with disturbed soils. Intensive use of the studied territories of the Sartakinsky, Karakansky and Mokhovsky fields both in agricultural and mining industries led to changes in the natural biocenos. This paper presents the study of soil-agrochemical characteristics (granulometric and structural structure of soil, the humus content, hydrogen index, the content of food elements, hydrolytic acidity, the sum of absorbed bases, absorption capacity, etc.) on different genetic horizons of zonal soils of Mokhovsky coal mine, and specifically unbroken soils of Mokhovsky, Sartakinsky and Karakansky fields on possibility of their use at carrying out of biological reclamation.
