Abstract:
Ultimate
goal of successful revegetation efforts is establishment of a
permanent,
self-sustaining plant community that supports postmining land use.
This,
in turn, is dependent on establishment of efficient nutrient cycles within
the
mine soil-plant system. Major goal of
this research effort over the next
several
years will be careful documentation of the N, P and K cycles in these
systems. This information, integrated with our
findings regarding effects of
rock
type and surface treatments on mine soil genesis and plant growth, will be
an
invaluable tool for the improvement of reclamation success in Southern
Appalachia.

Study
involved 2 distinct phases: 1) review
of literature data on productivity
in

Abstract:
Study
was performed to identify which plants were best suited for mine spoil
reclamation. 13 trees and shrub species appeared to have
adapted to non-sodic
glacial
till mine spoil where competition was controlled. The highest growth
and
survival rates for most species were identified on a clean cultivated level
site. No significant benefit from leveling was
found where competition was not
controlled. While performance improved on tops-level
site over wave-like and
check
sites, the differences between 3 treatments were minor. Few deciduous
species
tolerate grass and weed competition.

Abstract:
A
greenhouse study was conducted to determine the effects of papermill sludge on
the
establishment, yield and elemental concentrations of subterranean clover and
bermudagrass
grown on mine soil treated with fertilizer, sludge (56, 112 and 224
Mg/ha),
lime, or fertilizer with each sludge rate.
These were planted to clover
from
November 1987 - April 1988, and then to bermudagrass through September
1988.
Fertilizer
was found necessary to revegetate mine soil with clover and
bermudagrass. Sludge significantly (a=5%) increased yields
in the second
harvest
of clover and in the last two harvests of bermudagrass with maximum
yield
at 112 Mg/ha of sludge. Biological
N2-fixation and native N did not raise
N
concentration in clover within the critical values. Fertilizer improved N
uptake,
presumably due to better vegetative growth.
Nitrogen concentrations in
bermudagrass
remained below the normal levels (2.0-2.5%) in all treatments. Dry
matter
yields of clover and P within the critical levels (0.1-0.2%) in most
cases
while those of bermudagrass were mostly below the critical levels, even
though
no visual deficiency symptoms were observed.
Excessive accumulations of
K, Ca,
Mg, S. Fe, Cu, Zn, Al and Na were
observed in non-fertilized subclover.
Bermudagrass
was oberved to be predominantly high in Mg, Zn, Mn and Cu and low
in K
and S.
Fertilizer
(N, P and K) application was needed to build-up the nutrient status
of the
soil and to produce high-yield vegetation.
Soil pH and CEC were
favorably
affected by sludge application. Soil pH
changed from 5.5 (starting
mine
soil) to 7.0 in the fertilized soil and to 7.6 in the non-fertilized soil
with
increasing amounts of sludge up to 224 Mg/ha.
The CEC went up from 2.78 to
4.97
and 3.94 in the fertilized and non-fertilized soil, respectively.
Microbiological
assay did not show any significant trends in relation to the
treatments.
