Microbial activity in mine-impacted soil tends to shut down, which makes it difficult to revegetate. There are a number of ways to improve soil health, but traditional methods are often temporary, labour intensive and costly.
It’s why biosolids-based soil amendments are proving to be an innovative alternative. These organic materials are not only more affordable, accessible and nutrient-rich, they also offer a promising, long-term strategy for sustainable mine and industrial site rehabilitation.
