“…Numerous studies have shown that nitrogen is the main factor limiting vegetation reconstruction in degraded mining areas; the large amounts of soil nutrients absorbed and the low amounts of organic residues returned to the soil result in low nitrogen contents in reclaimed forest soils [43][44][45]. In reclaimed soils used for agriculture, annual ploughing may lead to the mineralization of organic carbon and thereby slow down the accumulation of SOC [20].…”

“…The higher percentage of fines could increase the plant-available water in the soil which would positively influence the site's productivity (Rodrigue and Burger, 2004). Skousen et al (2009) found that black walnut seeds had a significantly greater establishment and survival on a ripped surface mine in West Virginia vs. a non-ripped treatment on the same site.…”

“…We are somewhat skeptical of the utility of the method for determining rooting depth and its utility for characterizing forest site quality. Therefore, other approaches will be applied to interpret these data for forest site quality (Andrews et al 1998, Rodrigue and Burger 2004, Showalter et al 2006, Torbert et al 1998. …”
