Forest Topsoil Seed Banks for Introducing Native Species in Eastern Surface Mine Reclamation

FUZZY AHP METHOD FOR PLANT SPECIES SELECTION IN MINE RECLAMATION PLANS: CASE STUDY SUNGUN COPPER MINE

All steps of a mining project generally disturb the environment'soriginal condition during construction. Therefore, it is crucial toimplement an appropriate mine reclamation plan throughout all mineplanning stages from sustainable and environmental point of view.Planting the suitable plant species in each step of any reclamationplan and each area is one of the necessities in this respect.Select...

Reclamation of high-elevation, acidic mine waste with organic amendments and topsoil.

The Summitville Mine was a high-elevation (3500 m) gold mine in southwestern Colorado. The mine was abandoned in 1992, leaving approximately 200 ha of disturbance comprised partially of an open pit, a cyanide heap leach pad, and two large waste rock piles. Reclamation of these mine facilities is challenging due to extreme climatic conditions in conjunction with high acid-production potential an...

Western Surface Mine Permitting and Reclamation (Part 10 of 15)

Long-term persistence of pioneer species in tropical rain forest soil seed banks.

In tropical forests, pioneer tree species regenerate from seeds dispersed directly into canopy gaps and from seeds that persisted in soil seed banks before gap formation. Life-history models have suggested that selection for the long-term persistence of tree seeds in the soil should be weak because persistence potentially reduces population growth rate by extending generation time and because a...
