Reclamation and Reconstruction of Terrestrial Ecosystems on Mine Sites - Ecological Effectiveness Assessment
Marcin Pietrzykowski
English. The work presents and develops an original concept of mine site reclamation viewed as an ecosystem reconstruction process. Ecological effectiveness assessment criteria for the reclamation process were provided to serve as examples. They included soil-plant relationships, factors connected with plant community development (biomass and diversity of communities), pedogenesis dynamics and examples of mine soil classification, ecosystem macronutrients budget on reclaimed mine sites and multi-faceted evaluation of reclamation – carbon sequestration in new ecosystems and the balance of energy efficiency. In addition, selected examples of the reclamation process monitoring were provided as well as of possible application of natural succession in the reclamation process.
