DOI: 10.1007/s10661-019-7873-6
Abstract: The overburden dumps which are created during the process of mining are devoid of supportive and nutritive capacity for biomass development. Restoration of these overburden dumps requires the establishment of a self-sustaining soil–plant system, for… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2020.111097
Abstract: Surface coal mining activities completely destroy vegetation cover, soil and biodiversity. The aftermaths include huge coal mine spoil dumps, changed topography, drainage and landscape, deteriorated aesthetics and increased pollution load. These coal mine spoils are… read more here.
