| dc.description.abstract | This study investigates the recovery processes in reclaimed sites (an old embankment from copper mining), which was reclaimed by various methods in 2010. For the purpose of this study, the maximum average values of the NDVI index for 2018-2021 were used. According to the results of the study, restoration processes are taking place in recultivated areas, and a tendency for the index to increase over time has been observed. The extent of the restorative process depends on the remedial measures that have been carried out. In the reclamation of sites disturbed by copper mining, liming has been found to be a key amelioration. The use of a NDVI index is a viable and reliable method of tracking site recovery and on-going soil formation process. | |
