- Abstract:
-
Based on a case study of ecological restoration of abandoned lands in mining area of Mufu Mountain in Nanjing, the influences of ecological restoration on the soil properties of abandoned lands in mining area were analyzed. The results showed that the earlier ecologically restorated abandoned lands were, the higher soil organic matter content was; the soil organic matter contents were different at the same restoration period due to different restoration modes; soil pH and soil bulk density mainly depended on the properties of the cover soil, soil bulk density decreased with the increase of the restoration duration; and vegetation growth in abandoned lands of the mining area also affected soil pH and soil bulk density; hydrological effects of soil primarily depended on the thickness of cover soil, followed by soil porosity, and the soil porosity and soil bulk density were related to the vegetation restoration.
