摘要

Abstract

Soil reconstruction in mine dumps is a critical component of mine ecological restoration. Its core objective is to gradually recover soil functions and ecological processes on disturbed surfaces through substrate optimization

nutrient amendment

microbial regulation

and vegetation establishment. Existing studies indicate that foreign research developed earlier technical pathways represented by organic matter amendment

multilayer cover systems

and the resource utilization of industrial by-products

whereas research in China has progressed rapidly in ecological reclamation in loess regions

gradient amendment in arid areas

biochar-microbe combined remediation

and intelligent monitoring. Overall

soil reconstruction in mine dumps has evolved from simple engineering topsoiling toward coordinated regulation integrating materials

structure

biology

and monitoring. However

major bottlenecks remain

including strong spatial heterogeneity of dump substrates

scarcity of high-quality topsoil resources

and insufficient understanding of long-term soil evolution and ecosystem self-sustainability. This review systematically summarizes recent domestic and international advances

major technical pathways

prevailing trends

and key scientific issues

with the aim of providing a reference for the optimization and engineering application of soil reconstruction technologies for mine dumps.
