A comparison of microbial community function and structure in rehabilitated asbestos and coal discard sites
(Springer, 2012)Previous studies have made some progress with the use of microbial community properties as assessment criteria for rehabilitation success of postmining areas. Currently, there is a need for reference ranges of specific ... -
Insights and lessons learned from the long–term rehabilitation of an iron ore mine
(Graduate Faculty of Environment, 2013)A long-term study was conducted between 1985 and 2003 on rehabilitation trials at Sishen Iron Ore Mine, South Africa, to identify grass species that would survive in the artificial growth medium applied to the sites, and ... -
Soil microbial community function and structure in a post-mining chronosequence
(Springer, 2008)Temporal changes in microbial community function (enzymatic activities) and structure (phospholipid fatty acids) were studied in a post-mining chronosequence of coal discard sites of different rehabilitation ages. The ...
