Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of ecological restoration technology, specifically to a method for ecological reconstruction by stripping topsoil and filling ditches in open-pit coal mines in karst areas. Background Technology
[0002] Large-scale open-pit coal mining has driven economic development, but it has also caused serious damage to the ecological environment. The geological conditions and mining environment change significantly after mining, resulting in a series of problems such as mine subsidence, soil erosion, water pollution, and impacts on biodiversity, thus damaging the ecosystem and environment of the mining area. For example, during the entire mining process, uneven subsidence and tilting occur in various forms on the surface. During heavy rains, this triggers soil erosion, affecting vegetation cover and growth, biodiversity, and consequently, the ecosystem. Furthermore, mining requires a large amount of water, but much wastewater and sewage is discharged directly into the ecological environment without any treatment, severely polluting surface water. These problems not only affect the stability and function of the regional ecosystem but also threaten biodiversity, exacerbate environmental degradation, and seriously hinder regional sustainable development. Therefore, restoring the ecosystem function of open-pit coal mining areas has become an important research direction in current ecology and environmental science.
[0003] However, the ecological environment of open-pit coal mines is complex and diverse, and remediation work requires the coordinated restoration of multiple ecological elements such as soil, water, and air. Traditional methods consider the synergistic effects of multiple factors such as soil profile reconstruction, bulk density optimization, and heavy metal stabilization, but lack effective assessment of complex pollution from multiple heavy metals, and vegetation configuration and irrigation schemes rely on experience-based judgment.
[0004] For example, Chinese patent CN114747415A discloses a plant composition method for ecological restoration of coal mining areas based on remote sensing images, relating to the field of ecological restoration technology. Its operational steps are as follows: Step 1: Using remote sensing imagery technology, auxiliary data for different site conditions are used to classify the sites into different types; Step 2: By comparing the auxiliary data for different site conditions and the plant species composition under different vegetation cover change trends, the key plant types needed for vegetation restoration and reconstruction in each site condition and vegetation cover change trend area are identified. This invention is applicable to ecological restoration. By improving the vegetation composition, optimizing the plant restoration ratio for different site conditions, and distributing vegetation, it improves the sustainability and efficiency of mine ecological restoration, generating good ecological benefits. A reasonable vegetation ratio combination exhibits good symbiosis and excellent ecological sustainability, possessing significant promotional value.
[0005] For example, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN116843533A discloses a method for vegetation reconstruction in mining areas based on vegetation classification and site type division. This method utilizes remote sensing technology to acquire remote sensing images, performs image preprocessing, classifies the vegetation in the mining area, and selects site factors that may affect site type division for processing. Site types are obtained with slope and soil fertility as the dominant factors. Based on the evolution trends of the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) for different vegetation types and the NDVI for different vegetation types corresponding to different site types, the method analyzes the vegetation growth in the mining area since ecological restoration. Samples are selected from areas with good vegetation growth. The vegetation classification result of the samples is used as the decision attribute, and the site type is used as the condition attribute to obtain a decision tree model based on vegetation classification and site type division for vegetation reconstruction. This invention provides a basis for site-appropriate regional ecological restoration in mining areas and provides guidance for accelerating the ecological restoration of high-altitude open-pit coal mines.

9. The method according to claim 8, characterized in that, In step S5, the irrigation plan based on water content includes determining the irrigation threshold and the irrigation amount. The irrigation threshold is calculated based on field water holding capacity, irrigation coefficient and reference evapotranspiration, and the irrigation amount is calculated based on the current water content, root layer depth, area and wind speed.
