Modeling Selenite Sorption in Reclaimed Coal Mine Soil Materials

Breeding biology of Henslow’s Sparrows on reclaimed coal mine grasslands in Kentucky

Populations of Henslow’s Sparrows (Ammodramus henslowii) are declining, and loss of habitat is a likely factor. Coal mine reclamation has created grassland habitat in Kentucky and elsewhere, and information is needed concerning the use of these areas by Henslow’s Sparrows. We compared the behavior and ecology of populations on reclaimed sites and non-mined sites in west-central Kentucky during ...

An intelligent decision support system for revegetation and reclamation of land contaminated from coal mine wastes

Abandoned coal mine wastes can result in severe pollution and have aesthetic impact on the local environment. A range of reclamation techniques is available for substrate but only through the use of vegetation to stabilize coal mine wastes can complete long-term rehabilitation be achieved. Experimentation has been undertaken at coal mine sites to attempt to elucidate and overcome limitations to...
