Application of arbuscular mycorrhizas in ecological restoration of areas affected by coal mining in China
丛枝菌根在煤矿区生态重建中的应用

Coal mining has aided economic development but has also caused serious environmental problems. This paper reviews the major soil barriers to successful ecological restoration such as low soil fertility, low or high pH, low water holding capacity, high erodibility and extremely high temperature and poor soil microbial activity. Mining activities have severe deleterious effects on plants and the soil microbial community that must be ameliorated with additional amendments in order to achieve successful re-vege...
