Soil Hydrological Functions and Threshold Effects Under Different Modes of Vegetation Restoration in a Reclaimed Coal Mine of the Loess Plateau
Traditional evaluations of ecological restoration in mining lands have long been dominated by above ground vegetation metrics, such as coverage and community diversity. Yet in arid and semi-arid mining regions, soil hydrology recovery is key, as soil organic carbon (SOC) and bulk density (BD) are critical factors affec...
