Vegetation Cover Development Resulting from Different Restoration Approaches of Exploited Mines by Rodrigo Studart Corrêa, Alexander Paulo do Carmo Balduíno, Cláusio Tavares Viana Teza, Gustavo Macedo de Mello Baptista

“…The use of topsoil + trees or the incorporation of sewage sludge into mining substrates achieved the fastest development of vegetation cover (2.5-5 years) and the highest percentages of revegetated surface (80-95%). However, the floristic composition of vegetation covers is as important as their development, and some restoration approaches are reported to stimulate weed invasion while others prevent it.…”
