abstract:
The paper presents the results of a study concerned with estimation of some physicochemical properties of soil (grain size composition, pH, available phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, calcium, copper, manganese and zinc content) in the vicinity of a strip mine and in the actual operation area of a lignite strip mine. The study showed that, as a result of strip mine operation in an area with mineral soils, usually characterised with low content of the nutrients under study, the removed cap-rock contained more potassium, calcium and zinc, and in the mine working area (former settling pond sites) – more potassium, magnesium, calcium, copper, manganese and zinc. In the case under discussion, after the termination of the mine operation, performance of basic (technical) reclamation should be sufficient, possibly in combination with suitable agricultural measures.
