description | The exposed slopes formed by stone mining had caused serious problems of environmental pollution. The ecological restoration was a very effective measure to solve it. In this study, the Indigofera amblyantha Craib was the dominant species in the ecorestoration during the first two years of ecological restoration, which was based on analyzing the importance value (IV) and diversity indexes of plant species. Meanwhile, the ecorestoration process helps slow down the increase of the concentrations of some heavy metals in the substrate material; however, the changing trends of these metals were not uniform. The root and leaf were the main parts of heavy metal distribution, respectively, corresponding to Pb, Cr, As, Sb, and Ni in root and Cu, Mn, and V in leaf. It confirmed that Indigofera amblyantha Craib had an advantage ability to enrich and transfer Cd, Cu, and Mn obtained from their biological concentration factor (BCF) and biological transfer factor (BTF). The Sb, Cd, and V were the main factors affecting the IV by the redundancy analysis. These fine characters of Indigofera amblyantha Craib help explain it well adapted to the ecorestoration of stone coal mines. The current results are valuable to evaluate and extend the application in ecorestoration engineering of mining areas and other heavy metal-contaminated sites. |
