Surface mining for coal has contributed to widespread deforestation and soil loss in regions around the world, particularly Appalachia, USA. Mined land reforestation is of interest this other where forests are dominant pre-mining use. This study evaluated mine development on surface-mined sites reforested according Forestry Reclamation Approach, representing a chronosequence time ranging from 0...

The coupling cycles of soil carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) have a significant impact on biogeochemical processes ecosystem services. For centuries, large areas floodplain wetlands in China been extensively reclaimed for agricultural purposes due to population growth. However, little is known about the evolution C:N:P stoichiometry along reclamation chronosequence, particularly acr...
