Research and Demonstration of Improved Surface Mining Techniques in Eastern Kentucky. Revegetation Manual.

摘要

The information and principles on revegetation set forth in this manual are aimed,first,at the quick establishment of herbaceous cover for erosion control. In addition,the establishment of permanent vegetation for long-term site protection and various land uses is also considered. This manual also include information on the treatment of acid or toxic spoils,although it is believed that mining methods can be improved so that in the future,the occurrence of toxic spoil will be largely prevented. Although primarily directed at revegetation of current mining operations,many of the principles set forth in this manual also apply to the revegetation of unreclaimed or 'orphan'mine spoils.
