the effect of european black alder (alnus glutinosa l.) on the contents of carbon and nitrogen,exchangeable base cations, and plant available forms of phosphorus in the reclaimed mine soils formed bywaste deposition from opencast lignite mines was researched in central serbia. it was concluded that thegreatest part of dead organic residues reaching the soil under european black alder monocultur...

Recent changes in the fossil-fuel energy sector require coal mining industries to plan for future, including developing procedures decommissioning and closure associated with mines. In surface mining, geotechnical issues of include long-term stability pit slopes, particularly as is gradually filled water. This paper investigates such slope issues, emphasis on conditions prevailing Amyntaion lig...

This study is investigating the buffering of extremely acidic mining lakes in the Lusatian open cast lignite mining area and treatment options for these lakes through mesocosm experiments. First results concerning the different buffering systems in the lakes will be shown and discussed. In acidic lakes with similar pH and from the same mining area, the strength of the buffering system can be ve...
