Biotechnology of microorganisms from coal environments: from environmental remediation to energy production
Simple Summary Despite the wide perception that coal environments are extreme habitats,
they harbor resident microbial communities. Coal-associated habitats, such as coal mine …

Vegetation diversity on coal mine spoil heaps–how important is the texture of the soil substrate?
The relationship between the size of the particle fractions of the soil substrate and the
diversity of the spontaneously developing vegetation was investigated on coal mine spoil …

The effect of plant diversity and soil properties on soil microbial biomass and activity in a novel ecosystem
Plant–microbial relations have not yet been fully disclosed in natural or seminatural
ecosystems, nor in novel ecosystems developing spontaneously on post-coal mine heaps …

Do the dominant plant species impact the substrate and vegetation composition of post-coal mining spoil heaps?
Dominant species influence both species and functional composition of the vegetation as
well as soil properties of the substrate. However, knowledge about the role played by …

Tree species effects on bryophyte guilds on a reclaimed post-mining site
Tree species effects in afforestation of post-industrial lands have important impacts on
biodiversity of restored sites. We aimed to assess tree species effects on bryophytes in a …

The Soil Respiration of Coal Mine Heaps' Novel Ecosystems in Relation to Biomass and Biotic Parameters
The biodiversity, including the diversity of autotrophic organisms of mostly plant species,
assembled in vegetation patches and its impact on the course of ecosystem processes is still …

How important are the relations between vegetation diversity and bacterial functional diversity for the functioning of novel ecosystems?
Understanding ecosystem development of post-mining areas requires observing the
development of the plant and microbial communities. It is widely known that mutual …
