As human activities destroy and degrade the world's ecosystems at unprecedented scales, there is a growing need for evidence-based methods ecological restoration if we are to preserve biodiversity ecosystem services. Mining represents one of most severe anthropogenic disturbances, often necessitating intensive intervention restore basic attributes native ecosystems. Despite examples successful ...
