| Popis: | This paper introduces theories and methods for ecological restoration of mines and presents a case study of the ecological restoration in the Shanxi Bauxite Mine. In the process of ecological restoration, an integrated technical system consisting of stripping, mining, peeled-off and rehabilitation was established with the integration of engineering reclamation and biological reclamation; some techniques such as advanced farming techniques and biotechnology were also employed. These measures considerably improved crop yield and soil fertility of the mine, accelerated ecological rebuilding processes, and controlled soil erosion effectively. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
