The tailings resulting from surface excavation mining can turn into areas used for the re-cultivation of various species of plants, which represents, in fact, an ecological reconstruction and rehabilitation of degraded fields. The re-cultivation of tailings can underpin farming or forestry, and the research conducted in this regard recommends using organic and mineral fertilizers in order to provide the necessary nutrients, increase the organic matter content and also improve the soil structure and microbiological...

Depletion of soil fertility due to decrease in soil organic matter content represents a considerable problem in both developed and undeveloped countries. This paper deals with the comparison of compost (Cp) and mineral nitrogen fertilizer (NF) application on selected soil parameters which indicate state of soil environment, its health and quality. The main objectives of this study were (a) to investigate influence of Cp and NF application on total nitrogen (TN) and carbon (TC) content in soil (b), to determine pos...

During the four years 2013 ? 2016 structural changes in top-soil in silage maize monoculture were evaluated. Soil condition was evaluated according to the structure coefficient (SC) and the stability of soil aggregate, i.e. its ability to resist degradation. The experiment was established in sugar beet growing region of Czech Republic on Carbonate Chernozem, clay loamy textured. Monitoring was carried out in three variants with different dose of applied compost: Variant 1 ? Control, without compost; Variant 2 ? Co...
