Mined land rehabilitation in the semiarid regions of the United States
Mined land rehabilitation is one of the most important alternatives offered in response to the need to protect and maintain the integrity of the surface landscape. Technology alone cannot solve the problem; it can only alleviate the problem temporarily. We presently operate under a vaguely defined and only partially workable environmental ethic where mined lands are concerned. For the moment we must direct our research towards the goals of modifying the method and manner by which mining activities influence our environment. Our best rehabilitation efforts rely heavily on the reintroduction of vegetation so as to reestablish the processes of self‐repair (succession) and self‐adjustment (species tolerance to environmental stress) on the site itself.
