Succession is a basic natural process of ecosystem recovery, it may start completely de
novo (primary succession) or after serious disturbance of the previous ecosystem …

Soil Microbiology, Ecology, and Biochemistry, Fifth Edition addresses the increasingly
important field of soil biota and their interactions in research and education. Soil biota are an …

For hundreds of years, humans have been a soil formation factor. With the recent industrial
development of vast territories, the formation of soils in technogenic and postanthropogenic …

Most ground filtering algorithms are primarily designed for airborne LiDAR point cloud
processing and their successful use in identifying ground points from photogrammetric point …

Mining is an important human activity that significantly affects the landscape character,
particularly through excavation of spoil material and its deposition on spoil banks. The …

Soil recovery is crucial for successful ecosystem restoration at post-mining sites. Water
infiltration and preferential flow in soil are important but little studied soil characteristics. In …

Despite a century of study by ecologists, recovery following disturbances (succession) is not
fully understood. This book provides the first global synthesis that compares plant …

Ground filtering is an inevitable step of processing the Light detection and ranging-acquired
point clouds. Our objective was to evaluate the performance of six filtering algorithms. The …

Mining-induced ground deformation affects various plant communities in different ways.
However, little is known about the effects of ground deformation on plant succession; no …

There is little information about long-term spontaneous forest development after industrial
disturbances. A field study was done along the chronosequence of unreclaimed post-mining …
