SELECTION OF CASE STUDY AREAS OF THE MOST BASIN FOR SOLVING RECLAMATION ISSUES OF EUROPEAN PROJECT REECOL
Abstract
Brown Coal Research Institute j. v. c. (VUHU) from July 2023, together with scientific teams from several European countries, participates as part of the EU research program in the solution of the REECOL project, which deals with the reclamation of areas affected by mining in European coal basins. One of the important tasks of the first phase of the project solution is to find suitable case study areas in each country of the project solution. The selection of these areas in the Most Basin (CZ) is the subject of this paper. The selection of case study areas was based on the results of long-term research in the Most Basin. Areas with the occurrence of all main soil types, a long reclamation history and the application of various reclamation methods, including successional areas, were selected. The main part of the paper contains the characteristics and localization of the proposed case areas. The first of them is the Radovesice spoil heap with four experimental areas, two of which are left to natural succession and two are reclaimed using marls. The second area is the Strimice spoil heap with two experimental areas, one is left to natural succession and the other is reclaimed using bentonite. The paper describes the current situation of the areas, their reclamation history and long-term pedological development.
