“…Legumes that usually serve as a cover crop include Centrosoma, Pueraria, Calopogonium, and Crotalaria, while those serving as fillers and then developing into the main stands are sengon (Paraserianthes falcataria), Acacia mangium, A. auriculiformis, turi (Sesbania grandiflora), johar (Cassia siamea), trembesi (Samanea saman), kaliandra (Calliandra callothyrsus), malapari (Pongamia pinnata), and lamtoro (Leucaena glauca). Vegetation protects the soil effectively from winds that may carry toxic particles, runoff, and soil erosion (Makineci et al 2011). In general, legume is intentionally planted to improve soil fertility (Sheoran et al 2010;Smith et al 2016;Stagnari et al 2017).…”

Soendjoto MA, Riefani MK, Triwibowo D, Metasari D. 2018. Birds observed during the monitoring period of 2013-2017 in the revegetation area of ex-coal mining sites in South Kalimantan, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 19: 323-329. The number of bird species in the reclaimed and revegetated ex-mine site increases as the vegetation age increases. To test the hypotheses, the number of bird species was recorded at 08.00-12.00 and 14.00-17.00, 6-8 days for eight consecutive semiannual monitorings of 2013-2017 in four revegetation sites. Since the second half of 2015, another revegetation site, namely BP was added. Bird species were recorded in 25 m right side and 25 m left side of the observation path and within a radius of 25 m of observation points. To show an increase in the number of bird species, the number of newly discovered bird species in the given semiannual monitoring was added to the number of bird species in the previous semiannual monitoring. The number of bird species in the early semiannual monitoring was used as the baseline value. A bird species was categorized as a resident if the species was observed in each monitoring in the four vegetated sites. Up to the last monitoring, 53 bird species were recorded in the first four sites and 70 bird species in five sites (four reclamation and revegetation sites and one additional site, BP), while in the early semiannual monitoring (second half of 2013) birds recorded were only 30 species. This result shows that the older the vegetation age in the vegetated site, the greater the number of bird species utilizing the site. Seventeen species of birds were categorized as residents. These resident bird species includes White-breasted Woodswallow, Pied Triller, Scalybreasted Munia, Asian House-martin, Pacific Swallow, Long-tailed Shrike, Blue-throated Bee-eater, Olive-backed Sunbird, Sootyheaded Bulbul, Yellow-vented Bulbul, White-breasted Waterhen, Ashy Tailorbird, Yellow-bellied Prinia.

“…The rehabilitation of mine spoils challenges should resemble its natural previous landforms as much as possible. However, mine spoils possess very harsh conditions for plant establishment and growth due to low organic matters, heavy metal contents and other unfavorable physicochemical characteristics (Makineci et al 2011;Tripathi et al 2012).…”

“…Succession is a dynamic and continuous process, which occurs gradually over time. Plant succession following the exogenous disturbances associated with surface mining is a subject of both ecological and practical interests (Makineci et al 2011). During plant establishment at different stages of succession, recolonization of diverse plant species plays a major role in the process of soil formation, which in turn the improved soil condition will promote the plant succession.…”

“…A successful reclamation program attempts to accelerate the spontaneous recovery processes to reclaimed soil fertility and to enhance biological diversity. Comparative spontaneous plant succession studies on disturbed sites are providing significant insights into vegetation dynamics to ensure the success of future reclamation program (Makineci et al 2011). Nonetheless, information about the process of spontaneous plant succession in post-coal mining reclamation sites, particularly in the tropical countries of Southeast Asia is still limited.…”

Abstract. Hapsari L, Trimanto, Budiharta S. 2020. Spontaneous plant recolonization on reclaimed post-coal mining sites in East Kalimantan, Indonesia: Native versus alien and succession progress. Biodiversitas 21: 2003-2017. Comparative vegetation analyses subjected to recolonization of spontaneous plants were carried out in two post-coal mining reclamation sites, with different ages of reclamation, specifically 9 years old and 17 years old, in Bontang, East Kalimantan. This study aims to determine the spontaneous plant diversity and composition, identify the spontaneous alien plant species invasion (IAS), analyze the underlying micro-climates and soil factors and their association to the spontaneous plant recolonization, also to evaluate the succession progress. Results showed that both reclamation sites have undergone some vegetation and environmental improvements. The plant succession stage of both sites was identified at the same stage, as establishment phase of early-succession stage in transition to mid-succession stage. The spontaneous plants were comprised of two layers, i.e. (i) understories include grasses, ferns, lianas, herbs, shrubs and tree seedlings; and (ii) saplings include some of trees and small trees. Plant diversity indices on both sites were in moderate category. At understory layer, the 9-y.o. site was mostly dominated by grass Polytrias indica, whereas the 17-y.o. site was dominated by shrub Asystasia gangetica. At sapling layer, the 9-y.o. site was mostly dominated by Glochidion obscurum, whereas the 17-y.o. site was dominated by Macaranga tanarius. Dominant pioneer tree and shrub species in two reclamation sites mostly from general species component of secondary tropical forests from the families Euphorbiaceae, Phyllantaceae, Melastomaceae, Leguminosae, and Lamiaceae. It was recorded seven IAS in the 9-y.o. site, which six out of seven species were dominant. Meanwhile, in the 17-y.o. site was recorded eight IAS but only four species were dominant. Two dominant noxious weed species were also identified. Each IAS and noxious weed species has invasiveness traits that make them well-grown, successfully recolonized and invaded the reclamation site. Environmental factors include air temperature, air moisture, and light intensity; and soil conditions include pH, C/N ratio and physicochemical properties affected the variation of spontaneous plant establishment on each reclamation site. These comparative study findings may become inputs for coal mining operations management to evaluate and improve their reclamation program; such as by soil reconditions, controlling the populations of IAS, and planting more intensively of native tree species.
