Recultivation of mining landscapes: new view
Research aim is to create a new approach to the activities on disturbed land reclamation at mining industry, including the development of methodologies of self-regeneration processes activation and bioactive soil medium formation. In the modern aspect of relationship between mining and the environment, the problem of disturbed land reclamation should be considered within a wider concept of "environmental revegetation". Research methodology includes the estimation of need and advisability of introducing optimized control systems over the quality of normative and legal regulation and tightening control over the implementation of obligations for land revegetation, as well as the development of principles which should be a base for land reclamation planning, necessarily accompanied by resources regeneration monitoring. Research results application area consists in the region 's environmental development, where in order to ensure sustainable territories development it is necessary to take into account the impact of current mining activities on the environment. The greatest negative consequences, up to some irreversible changes in landforms, are notable for industrial and mining landscapes. Conclusions. The implementation of a conceptual approach to environmental revegetation from the point of view of modern ideas on the quality of the regenerated natural resources is the first and essential step towards rational use of land resources with the account of connections with the natural-climatic, social-economic, and ecological conditions.
