Exceptional Quantity of Water Habitats on Unreclaimed Spoil Banks
Original language description
Surface mining is responsible for large-scale destruction of affected landscapes. Simultaneously, the dumping of overburden soil on spoil banks during mining generates new landscapes, usually with heterogeneous topography. If spoil banks are not subsequently reclaimed technically (i.e., if the terrain is not leveled), considerable habitat diversity can thereby be established, consisting of numerous types of both terrestrial and water habitats. We compared the area and number of freshwater habitats between spoil banks (both technically unreclaimed and reclaimed) and the surrounding landscapes undisturbed by mining. The area of water habitats and, especially their numbers, per km2 were by far the greatest on unreclaimed spoil banks. Meanwhile, the quantity of water bodies on reclaimed spoil banks was about half that on the non-mining landscapes. Great variety among the numerous water habitats as indicated by their areas, depths, and proportions of aquatic vegetation on unreclaimed spoil banks can contr
