Produktbeschreibung

Remediation and Management of Degraded Lands presents the program of the first International Conference on the Remediation and Management of Degraded Lands. The book has three sections: mine management and rehabilitation, the management of derelict lands, and soil contamination and reclamation. The 34 chapters present a proactive, solution based approach to the rehabilitation of our natural resources. TOC:Sustainable Mine Rehabilitation.- Re-establishment of Native Flora Habitats on Coal Mine Rehabilitation Areas.- Remediation of Land Following Open-Cut Coal Mining.- Restoration of Opencast Coal.- Land Reclamation After Open-Pit Mineral Extraction.- Lignite Surface Mining and Reclamation.- Rehabilitation of Abandoned Bentonite Mined Lands.- Paper Mill Sludge as a Revegetation Tool in Sandpit Rehabilitation.- Impact of Rare-Earth Mining on the Environment and the Effects of Ecological Recovery Measures on Soils.- Rehabilitation of Copper Mine Tailings. Direct Revegetation of Salt-Affected Gold Ore Refining Residue.- Acid Mine Drainage Issues and Control Strategies.- Economic Mine Closure, Reclamation and Cost Management.- Nitrogen in the Remediation of Degraded Land. Diagnosis and Prognosis of Soil Fertility Constraints for Land Restoration.- Land Degradation and Its Control Strategies.- Restoration of Degraded Lands in Hong Kong.- Reforestation in the Countryside of Hong Kong.- The Role of Plantations in Restoring Degraded Lands in Hong Kong.- Trees and Greening of Hong Kong's Urban Landscape: Subaerial and Soil Constraints.- Field Evaluation of Tree Species for Afforestation of Barren Hill Slopes.- Relationship Between Biofuel Harvesting and Upland Degradation.- Assessing Remedial Technologies for Metal-Contaminated Sites.- Effect of Heavy Metal.- Colonization of Iron- and Zinc-Contaminated Dumped Filtercake Waste.- Study on the Effectiveness of EDTA/HCI on the Removal of Pb, Cd, Cu, and Ni Soil.- Landfill Leachate Used as Irrigation Water.- Growth and Mineral Nutrition of Casuarina Equisetifolia.- A Constructed Wetland. Vermitechnology.- Pig-on-Litter Compost and Anaerobically Digested Sewage Sludge for the Growth of Edible Crops.

Taking a multidisciplinary approach, this collection provides a proactive, solution based approach to the rehabilitation of natural resources. Topics include the devastating results of open-cut mining, open-pit mining, lignite surface mining and acid mining; reforestation, soil fertility prognosis, and the uses of nitrogen; and soil contamination and reclamation. The book explores revolutionary management and remediation methods such as the effectiveness of EDTH/HCI to remove contaminants from soils. The innovative techniques found in Remediation and Management of Degraded Lands makes it a valuable resource for environmental professionals.
