Efficiency of Vegetative Reclamation of Coal Spoil Heaps

Coal spoil-heaps cause man-made pressure on the environment of the coal mining area. Coal mining, and in recent years the mass closure of mines has been accompanied by a negative impact on natural objects and engineering structures - the basements of houses and buildings are flooded, walls and woode...
