“…In the accelerated development and stable development stages of coal mining, ecological problems became prominent, and the ecosystem was seriously damaged. If ecological restoration was timely, it could achieve positive succession of the damaged ecosystem, or slow down the negative succession of the ecosystem [ 34 ]. However, if no measures were taken, under the current economic and technological conditions, the ecosystem would continue to degrade or regress to an extreme ecosystem.…”

Ecosystem Services Value (ESV) are the various beneficial functions and products that natural ecosystems provide to humans, and are important indicators for evaluating ecosystem conditions and human well-being. Opencast mining is one of the human activities that severely damage the surface environment, but its long-term impact on ecosystem services lacks systematic assessment. This study takes the Ordos opencast mining area as an example, and calculates the value of ESV from 1990 to 2020 based on the Google Earth Engine platform. Mann-Kendall Tau-b with Sen’s Method (Sen + mk test) and Joinpoint regression model were used to analyzes its spatiotemporal variation characteristics. Further revealed the impacts of opencast mining on ESV as well as the trend of ESV changes. The results show that: (1) The dynamic ESV levels in the study area fluctuated considerably from 1990 to 2020 with an overall decreasing trend of 89.45%. (2) Among nine types ecosystem services, most of them were significantly different (p < 0.001) between mining areas and control areas, with biodiversity protection (BP), climate regulation (CR), gas regulation (GR), soil formation and retention (SFR), water supply (WS) and waste treatment (WT) showed a significant decrease between 1990 and 2020. (3) In the past 30 years, the ESV of the study area showed an overall improvement trend, where the improved area accounted for 48.45% of the total area of the study area. However, the degraded area also accounted for 21.28, and 17.19% of the area belonged to severe degradation. With 67% of the significantly degraded areas distributed within mining concessions. (4) The trend of ESV changes in the mining impact areas and the control area showed significant differences. The ESV of the control area increased continuously, with an average annual percentage change (AAPC) of 0.7(95%CI:0.50 ~ 0.9, P < 0.001) from 1990 to 2020; while the ESV of the mining impact areas first stabilized and then decreased significantly, with an AAPC of − 0.2(95%CI:− 0.3 ~ − 0.1,P < 0.001) from 1990 to 2020. This study provides scientific support for formulating ecosystem management, restoration plans, and payment for ecosystem service policies, which is conducive to achieving regional sustainable development and improving human well-being.

“…Mining and colliery companies can leverage the insights to develop robust restoration plans, meet regulatory requirements, gain social acceptance, and enhance their reputations as responsible corporate entities. Government bodies and environmental agencies can draw upon the research's findings to formulate policies and guidelines for land restoration, thereby promoting sustainable land management practices on a broader scale [ [41] , [42] , [43] , [44] , [45] , [46] , [47] ]. The local communities, urban planners, and community organizations can tap into the restoration potential detailed in the research to initiate projects aimed at restoring degraded land, creating green spaces, and ultimately improving the quality of life.…”

“…However, the methodology is able to provide a holistic overview and complex analysis of the major environmental, socioeconomic losses and benefits delivered for society and nature. For instance, modeling including ESE can be applied to supply scenarios supporting decision-making for site-specific restoration of quarries and brownfields [66,67], mine reclamation impact of ecosystem services supply in the long-term period on a regional level [68], involving stakeholders in the decision-making process of rejuvenating ecosystem services by reclaiming degraded land and brownfields [69,70], and raising the supply of ecosystem services in urban areas based on sustainable degraded site redevelopment [29,71]. The criteria-based evaluation for each case study was performed entirely by the authors using available information and documented facts, providing input data for the system-dynamic flow charts designed for each case study.…”

Case Study-Based Integrated Assessment of Former Waste Disposal Sites Transformed to Green Space in Terms of Ecosystem Services and Land Assets Recovery

Growing global production leads to continuing generation of waste, part of which still ends its life cycle in landfills and dumps. Despite the efforts of waste reuse and recycling and waste self-degradation, existing and old landfills and dumps remain a huge challenge for the future. The majority of landfills can be identified as non-sanitary and can be designated as existing or former dumps, meaning hills or fields of abandoned garbage and degraded inert waste masses without any or with little aftercare maintenance. In contrast, the term ‘landfill’ refers to legally organized waste disposal sites created in a controlled manner, according to modern environmentally responsible standards. The paper gives a case study-based integrated assessment of closed and revitalized waste disposal sites that have undergone a functional change from ‘lost territories’ to primarily green space beneficial for society and the urban environment, in terms of ecosystem services estimation based on the criteria evaluation approach and monetary assessment of land assets value recovery potential. The chosen four case studies (in the United States, Australia, Poland and Estonia) serve as successful examples of a sustainable degraded site revitalization gateway indicating opportunities for accelerating land value through the prism of ecosystem services estimations and spatial planning criteria. Beneficial value of land assets after site revitalization is assessed in monetary terms.
