“…Whether it is native to the soil or added as an amendment, organic matter can improve many if not all of the key chemical and physical characteristics of forest soils, including its total nutrient stocks, its aggregation, and its water holding capacity (Larney and Angers 2012;Quideau et al 2013a). In terms of soil biological properties, however, organic amendments (even those derived from local topsoil) may not provide the same advantage as native organic matter (Vetterlein and Hüttl 1999).…”

Many forested landscapes around the world are severely altered during mining for their rich mineral and energy reserves. Herein we provide an overview of the challenges inherent in efforts to restore mined landscapes to functioning forest ecosystems and present a synthesis of recent progress using examples from North America, Europe and Australia. We end with recommendations for further elaboration of the Forestry Reclamation Approach emphasizing: (1) Landform reconstruction modelled on natural systems and creation of topographic heterogeneity at a variety of scales; (2) Use and placement of overburden, capping materials and organic amendments to facilitate soil development processes and create a suitable rooting medium for trees; (3) Alignment of landform, topography, overburden, soil and tree species to create a diversity of target ecosystem types; (4) Combining optimization of stock type and planting techniques with early planting of a diversity of tree species; (5) Encouraging natural regeneration as much as possible; (6) Utilizing direct placement of forest floor material combined with seeding of native species to rapidly re-establish native forest understory vegetation; (7) Selective ongoing management to encourage development along the desired successional trajectory.

“…Such through-space interactions give important insights into molecular conformation and configuration, which can greatly aid structure elucidation. 12 NOEs can be either positive or negative depending on the magnetic field strength used and the dynamic properties of the species observed. 9,13 A clear issue arises when these positive and negative contributions cancel.…”

Forest restoration in post-open pit mining areas is complex and faces the challenge of "recreating" the soil under horizontal disruption, representing strong barriers to root growth. Hence, trenches (paths opened by digging) for planting are an alternative to improve root development conditions and plant growth. This study aimed to evaluate growth of six tree species planted in trenches under three treatments: Topsoil or control (TS), Sawdust (SD) and Cow manure (CM). The trenches (1 m in height and length by 40 m long) were lled with topsoil. In the 6-m space between trenches, two treatments were performed: soil covered and not covered by sawdust to test natural regeneration. Six tree species (250 individuals) in pits over trenches where Mean Annual Increment in height (MAI Ht, ), diameter (MAI DSH ), crown area (MAI CA ), and survival were assessed. After 18 months, mortality was 2.4%, Clitoria fairchildiana, Tachigali vulgaris, and Croton matourensis showed highest MAI Ht and MAI DSH , and the C. fairchildiana presented the highest MAI CA with no statistical differences among treatments. Sawdust coverage had no effects on litter amounts and on tree species from the natural regeneration. Herbs and grasses covered 45.5% and 57.2% of the soil with and without sawdust. Based on growth and mortality, C. fairchildiana, T. vulgaris, and C. matarensis can be recommended for initial restoration after kaolin mining.
