This book aims to present an alternative based on natural processes
and an environmental approach to post-excavation site management,
e.g., post-coal mining heaps. These sites are places where various
mineral excavation by-products are collected. Nevertheless, some
post-mineral excavation sites are oligotrophic, terrestrial,
wetland, and water habitat islands, providing unique biodiversity
enrichment in the landscape. These oligotrophic mineral habitats
are essential in over-fertilized, eutrophic, agricultural and
urban-industry surroundings. Some post-mineral excavation sites are
places where the wildlife can develop and support the functional
processes of novel ecosystems. Implementing the newest
biogeochemical and comprehensive knowledge into urban-industry
landscape management will help to establish the ecosystem's
processes and environmental functioning. There are several
post-industrial sites in Europe where the wildlife areas developed
due to natural processes, are becoming wildlife hotspots in densely
populated urban-industry areas. In this respect, many of the
oligotrophic mineral terrestrial, wetland, and water habitats of
anthropogenic origin should not be categorized as environmentally
dangerous and undergo economic utility-focused reclamation. Facing
the actual environmental constraints of the Anthropocene Epoch, the
book's chapters presenting the natural basics and perquisites of
the environmental ecosystem mosaics, will be interesting for a
broad range of environmentalists (scientists and students), miners,
economists, and sociologists.
