Mining activities, particularly in the extraction of metal ores, often result in the creation of extensive areas of abandoned and contaminated mine lands, posing significant environmental hazards. These lands are characterized by soil degradation and the presence of toxic substances, necessitating comprehensive and long-term interventions to restore them to an ecologically productive state.
Eco-Restoration of Mine Land offers a comprehensive and authoritative introduction to ecosystem-based approaches for restoring land after coal and mineral mining operations. This book provides a thorough exploration of innovative solutions for remediating polluted soil and re-establishing vegetation in disused mine lands. It synthesizes cutting-edge research, experiential knowledge, and longstanding best practices to offer a holistic understanding of the science of mine land restoration.
In addition to providing a foundational understanding of soil contamination, risk assessment, and phytoremediation, Eco-Restoration of Mine Land delves into the potential of restored mine soils to sequester carbon and other environmental benefits. It also discusses the use of biological soil quality indicators to assess progress in ecosystem restoration.
This book is a valuable resource for researchers and advanced students in the environmental and ecological sciences, as well as professionals working in environmental remediation. It serves as a comprehensive survey of this increasingly critical subject, offering practical insights and strategies for successful mine land restoration.
