Abstract
The first scientific approach on evaluation of reclamation successes in coal mine derelict sites has been systematically documented in the ‘Annual meeting of the American Society of Surface Mining and Reclamation’ held on 1990 under the leadership of Chambers and Wade (USDA Forest Services) in a symposium on ‘Evaluating Reclamation Success: The Ecological Consideration’.
