required steps to reclamation after mining:
Monitor the progression of regrowth for 5-10 yrs, ensuring stable ecosystem
step1: reconstructing the land back to its original topography
Step3:replanting plants of origin(native) for primary succession to begin
Step2: reestablish soil nutrients for succession to begin
19
is the loss of water-soluble plant nutrients from the soil, due to rain and irrigation.
evaporation
superimposing
leaching
deposition
20
Reclamation is the process of
Extracting ore minerals from gangue minerals
Removing coal from a subsurface seam
Protecting the habitats of local wildlife
Returning land to its original or better condition
21
Mining involves the ______, ______ and ______ of minerals.
