A major challenge in using recovery techniques, for the different natural ecosystems affected by mining, is a mutual relationship between habitat and its biota response. This study aimed to do review identify number of publications, which countries are publishing more techniques taxonomic group used mining areas globally have contributed maintenance or environment. We reviewed literature on worldwide, 1994 2016, Web Science online database. identified 9,000 after selection procedures, we analyzed 467 remaining manuscripts. Of these, 34.26% were published 2004, 65.74% 2006 2016. The that most USA with 16.45%, Australia 13.56% China 8.66%. Brazil 6.9% publications. vegetation reported used. terrestrial plants was cited degraded areas. found various recovering can be established, but them did not show proper monitoring without this processes may achieve their objectives studies test effect size these methods still necessary.
