Abstract:Evaluating the success of any native ecosystem rehabilitation requires its careful comparison to a desired target. In mine rehabilitation, these targets are often native vegetation communities that were present premining or in the surrounding landscape. Field monitoring plots representative of these community targets are known as analogue or reference sites and are widely used in rehabilitation efforts, yet there is a dearth of literature available on their effective use in mining contexts.
