“…The input query words used before now give a much broader list of publications, most of which are completely off-topic, compared to the very narrow-focused results we obtained in 2020. When modified slightly and still using similar keywords (coal, soil, recla*), some of the most recent publications from 2023 visible in the WoS database related to the matter mainly originate from China [167][168][169][170][171][172][173], India [174][175][176], and Poland [177][178][179][180], with research coming from China definitely being the most abundant.…”

Open-cast coal mining is one of the most often-debated industries in the world. Due to the significant environmental and health issues it causes, many of these sites have been reclaimed over the years, and many scientific publications and research has followed. In this paper, we have tried to assess the trends in recent research performed on reclaimed coal mining sites (RMS) by analyzing the publications visible on Web of Science (WoS) between 2015 and 2020 and dividing the research into six categories. The results show that there is a trend of rapid increase in research that deals with carbon and its pooling, nutrients, vegetation, and microbiology, and a significant decline in research on RMS soil physical properties, whereas other categories have shown an increasing but relatively steady trend. The application of modern technologies is also discussed. China, the USA, and India are the countries that quantitatively take the lead in coal RMS research, with India slowly overtaking the US in more recent years.
