RECLAMATION LAND IN POST-MINING BAUXITE HAS THE POTENTIAL TO STORE CARBON

Post-mining land reclamation aims to improve the condition of land that has been damaged by mining activities so as to restore the level of fertility and productivity of the land. The success rate of this reclamation activity can be seen from the quality of growth of the types of plants that planted on the land. The higher the success rate of reclamation activities, the greater the potential for carbon sequestration from the land. This paper reviews the results of bauxite mine reclamation research, with the aim of predicting the carbon potential stored in each post-mining revegetation stand structure.
