Selection of Dominant Moss Species for Ecological Restoration of Abandoned Mines – A Case Study of Tieshan Quarry in Qixing District, Guilin, China

The local dominant mosses were used to study the revegetation of high and steep slope open-pit mine. Based on improved Line Intercept Method (LIM), rapid screening pioneer for mine reforestation was carried out impact habitat development wild preliminarily explored. results showed that 6 species belonging 5 families found in representative plots, Barbula unguiculata among mosses. important values as follows: > Brachymenium exile Haplocladium microphyllum Amblystegium serpens,> Sematophyllum subpinnatum Thuidium glaucinoides. Altitude, temperature humidity are factors affecting unguiculata. LIM applied field experiment obtain quickly screen moss, this method also great significance other research areas. It is a direction regreening engineering select superior moss suitable regional environment re greening seed source.
