“…An important international problem in degraded areas is exposure to heavy metals, and sewage sludge can have an impact in the accumulation of heavy metals in soil and plants (Kumar and Chopra 2014 ; Kumar et al 2016 ). However, translocation of heavy metals from Carbocrash substrate to plants only presents a risk for Cd bioaccumulation (Halecki and Klatka 2017 ).…”

“…This is particularly vital for vascular plants covering those areas (Skubała 2011 ). Plant growth is one of the primary aims of biological reclamation (Zipper et al 2011 ; Yang et al 2012 ; Fields-Johnson et al 2014 ; Halecki and Klatka 2017 ). Selecting plant species and their cultivation to ensure protection against surface erosion is a very important phase of the reclamation process (Zhao et al 2014 ).…”

Remediation methods are gaining acceptance as effective and inexpensive techniques used in the reclamation of degraded areas. The reclamation of post-mining sites has become important for the conservation of soil and vegetation. An assessment of potential productivity of plants based on the depth of their root zone is crucial for the validation of properties of post-mining soils. Our aim was to present soil productivity parameters that would facilitate assessment of various post-mining objects. Soil productivity index (SPI) was calculated to assess soil quality, mainly in areas degraded by hard coal mining. It is based on an equation determining the relationship between the productivity index and the physical, chemical, and hydrological properties of soil. Our study demonstrated the positive effects of enriched sewage sludge with amendments on newly formed soil and plants. The soil productivity index was 0.81, demonstrating the suitable condition of the initial soil resulting from reclamation. This parameter might be important for post-industrial reclamation, such as wasteland intended to be transformed into woodland. Considering the composition of sewage sludge amendments, it can be successfully used as an effective method of restoring and improving both the physical and chemical properties of soils, thus effectively replacing mineral fertilisers. The use of sewage sludge in soil reclamation will be an important method of managing this waste material in post-mining areas.

“…In Poland the industrial waste are used very occasionally, for example energetic or metallurgy, for reclamation of landfills of other waste, mainly mining [Strzyszcz and Łukasik, 2008]. In the framework of reclamation of these landfills however increasingly there are used substrates created on the basis of based on mixture of various kinds of waste [Halecki and Klatka, 2017]. The important stage in the completely arrangement of problem of rational waste management in Poland was The Waste Act of…”

In the work there were presented results of investigations of physico-water properties and water retention ability of chosen post industrial waste in the aspect of natural management. Soil water characteristic curves were determined in pressure chambers with porous ceramic plate and parametrized to the van Genuchten equation. The obtained results show, that the less advantageous retention ability has flotation waste and coal mud, the medium one metallurgical and soda waste. The best retention properties have energetic and heat energetic waste. The determined soil water characteristic curves can be the base for evaluation possibilities of natural management of the investigated waste. The carried out investigations, supplemented by examination of chemical properties enable to choose optimal methods of biological reclamation of landfills where are deposited.

“…In reclamation projects aimed at obtaining tree cover, achieving and maintaining appropriate physical and chemical conditions means combining the reclamation process with agrotechnical methods typical of the initial management of biological reclamation [1]. Reclamation with sewage sludge mixtures may be helpful for restoring previously arable wasteland, where herbaceous or woody plants could improve soil conditions for crop plants [2].…”

This study examined the use of an artificial soil substrate in a mine waste reclamation area and its effect on plant metabolic functions. Research was conducted by determining the relationship between the plants’ biochemical features and the properties of plant growth medium derived from post-flotation coal waste, sewage sludge, crushed stone and fly ash on the surface of the mine waste disposal area. Trees and shrubs were established on the material and allowed to grow for eight years. The study determined that the applied plants and the naturally occurring Taraxacum officinale were suitable for physio-biochemical assessment, identification of derelict areas and reclamation purposes. An evaluation of a soil substrate applied to post-mining areas indicated that it was beneficial for plant growth since it activated the metabolic functions of herbaceous plants, shrubs, and trees. The study showed that soil substrate can be targeted to improve plant stress tolerance to potentially toxic elements (PTEs). These data suggest the potential for growth and slower susceptible response to Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn. It is possible that the constructed soil-substitute substrate (biosolid material) would be an effective reclamation treatment in areas where natural soil materials are polluted by PTEs. This observation may reflect a more efficient use of soil substrate released from the cycling of organic biogene pools, in accordance with the circular economy approach. In further studies related to land reclamation using sewage sludge amendments, it would be necessary to extend the research to other stress factors, such as salinity or water deficiency.
