Second Year Response of Appalachian Mixed Hardwoods to Soil Surface Grading and Herbaceous Ground Cover on Reclaimed Mine Land
Abstract. Recent experience suggests that native Appalachian hardwood trees can be successfully established on coal surface mining sites if appropriate reclamation techniques are used. The Forestry Reclamation Approach (FRA) is a set of mine reclamation techniques developed for that purpose. Questions remain regarding how soil surface grading and choice of herbaceous vegetation affect tree surv...
متن کاملRedevelopment of Soil Carbon Pools on Reclaimed Surface Mine Lands
Soils play a crucial role in the global carbon cycle; they represent a carbon reservoir larger than the atmosphere, they are the site of a number of key carbon transformations (e.g. mineralization and humification), and contain a number of unique carbon pools (e.g. plant litter, humic substances, dissolved organic matter, etc.). Land disturbance associated with surface coal mining results in co...
متن کاملImpact of urban land cover change on land surface temperature
The rapid growth in urban population is seen to create a need for the development of more urban infrastructures. In order to meet this need, natural surfaces such as vegetation are been replaced with non-vegetated surfaces such as asphalt and bricks which has the ability to absorb heat and release it later. This change in land cover is seen to increase the land surface temperature. Previous stu...
متن کاملPotential for carbon sequestration in reclaimed mine soil on reforested surface mining areas in Poland
Reclaimed mine soils (RMS) which develop on post-mining sites play significant role in Carbon sequestration in new ecosystems, especially in local range on areas disturbed by human activity. This study presents the potential for Carbon sequestration in RMS developing on 3 post surface mining areas in Poland (Central Europe) reforested with Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L). Research was conducted...
