Abstract

Revegetation of mined-out areas and overburden (OB) dumps is essential for effective and successful reclamation. In any revegetation planning, knowledge of the pre-existing vegetation and a vision for the development of desired ecosystem are essential. The plan should include specific strategies that are used to
