A novel characterization on the interaction of soil and vegetation in a reclaimed area of opencast coalmine based on joint multi-fractal method

Soil and vegetation, as the basic structural unit of artificial ecosystems, play an important role in ecological restoration in opencast coal mining areas, and both exhibit a complex interaction. However, the traditional method cannot well characterize the inter action between the soil and vegetatio...
