Spoil to Soil: Mine Site Rehabilitation and Revegetation presents
both fundamental and practical aspects of remediation and
revegetation of mine sites. Through three major themes, it examines
characterization of mine site spoils; remediation of chemical,
physical and biological constraints of mine site spoils, including
post mine-site land-use practices; and revegetation of remediated
mine site spoils. Each theme includes chapters featuring case
studies involving mine sites around the world. The final section
focuses specifically on case studies with successful mine site
rehabilitation. The book provides a narrative of how inert spoil
can be converted to live soil. Instructive illustrations show mine
sites before and after rehabilitation. The purpose of this book is
to provide students, scientists, and professional personnel in the
mining industry sensible, science-based information needed to
rehabilitate sustainably areas disturbed by mining activities. This
book is suitable for undergraduate and graduate students majoring
in environmental, earth, and soil sciences; environmental and soil
scientists; and mine site environmental engineers and regulators.
