Abstract: An "edaphic-landscape" restoration was performed in two anthracite coal mine spoil heaps located in NW Spain as a demonstration and pilot program for the restoration of coal mine spoils. Terrestrial arthropods were used to monitor the process as an alternative to the use of secondary succession of plants or physico-chemical indicators of soils. This study analyzes the usefulness of the terrestrial arthropods at different taxonomic levels (orders of Arthropoda, families of Coleoptera, and species of Carabidae) … Show more

“…The said coal mine has experienced mine fires, and mining operations were closed for quite a few years. Tsibart et al (2014) observed higher PAHs content in soils affected by mine fire. Maximum concentrations of a total of 14 PAHs were detected in charred peat horizons (up to 330 mg kg −1 ) and in post-fire incipient O horizons (up to 180 mg kg −1 ), but the high-molecular-weight PAHs (benz(ghi)perylene, benz(a)pyrene, benz(k)fluoranthene) were revealed only in charry peat horizons.…”

“…Soil quality indices are useful to differentiate between the degraded status of soils (Morugán-Coronado et al, 2013). Though there are a few studies on the assessment of soil parameters on coal mine soil (Mukhopadhyay and Maiti, 2014;Tizado and Núñez-Pérez, 2014;Pallavicini et al, 2015;Haigh et al, 2015;Chaudhuri et al, 2015), integrated estimation of soil quality is limited.…”

“…Indeed healthy soil systems show a set of ecosystem niches and related organisms, while stressed soils are poorer, both in species and as individuals (Menta et al, 2011). Mesofauna responds to landuse change and management practices and can be considered an efficient bioindicator of ecosystem health (Tizado et al, 2014).…”

“…The effect of mine dumps on flora and fauna is twofold: deposition leads to complete burial and loss of biological diversity on site (Neuman et al, 2005;Shukla, Lal, & Ebinger, 2005;Young, 1988), and there are off-site effects because of transportation of pollutants (Winter & Redente, 2002;Conesa, Faz, & Arnaldos, 2007a;Mendez & Maier, 2008). Specifically, mine dumps cause deterioration of aesthetics, reduction in land productivity, changes in topography, destruction of habitats and increased wind and water erosion and air, soil and water pollution (Martín-Moreno et al, 2016;Mukhopadhyay et al, 2013;Tizado & Núñez-Pérez, 2014).…”
