Explanation

Developing a vegetational cover is the most comprehensive approach to restoring ecological balance in mined areas. Plants help stabilize soil, prevent erosion, restore nutrient cycles, and create habitat for other organisms. While preventing soil erosion is important, vegetation establishment addresses multiple ecological processes simultaneously and initiates natural succession.
