摘要

Purpose

Mining exerts a significant influence on the sensitive and fragile environment of the Qinghai-Tibetan plateau. Soil reclamation in mining areas is conducive to promoting mine ecological restoration. An outdoor mesocosm experiment was conducted to investigate the reclamation effect of four kinds of materials and screen the optimal formulation.

Methods

Orthogonal experiment was set used four kinds of materials, which included modified organic material (1.0, 1.2 and 1.4%), slow-release fertilizer (1.0, 1.2 and 1.4%), microbial inoculum (3, 6 and 9 g/m2), and straw (0.06, 0.08 and 0.10%). Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and least significant difference (LSD) (p < 0.05) were used to explore correlations between different groups. In order to obtain the optimal ratios, this study adopted principal component analysis to score the nine scenarios.

Results

The results demonstrated that four materials significantly improved the physical and chemical properties of soil, which available potassium increased by up to 275% and organic carbon increased by up to 1743%. Moreover, the application of these materials promoted plant growth and greatly contributed to the development of microbial diversity.

Conclusions

The optimal ratio was derived as modified organic material 1.4%, slow-release fertilizer 1.4%, microbial inoculum 3 g/m2, and straw 0.08%. This study will provide a key technology for the ecological restoration of damaged soils in open-pit mining areas used for construction.
