Abstract

The restoration of soil fauna on a spoil heap is a strong indicator of successful reclamation. The studies were conducted on two types of materials: bare rock (BR) and BR with topsoil (TS) which were applied during coal spoil reclamation and three vegetation types. Four variants investigated included natural forest succession on BR (Succession_BR) and TS (Succession_TS), afforestation (Reclamation_TS) and afforestation with Robinia pseudoacacia (Robinia_TS). Soil pH, soil organic carbon (SOC) and total nitrogen (TN) content, and soil texture were measured in 0–10 cm layers. Earthworms were collected using hand sorting method, and enchytraeids were collected using wet extraction with the heating method. The investigated soil had varying pH values from 5.3 in a BR to 7.2 in Robinia_TS. The highest content of SOC and TN were in Successinon_BR, and the lowest was in Succession_TS. Enchytraeids density was in the following increasing order: 275, 2982, 3001 and 4548 ind m−2 for Succession_BR, Robinia_TS, Succession_TS and Reclamation_TS, respectively. Earthworm density ranged from 0 ind. m−2 in the Succession_BR through 116 ind m−2 and 120 ind m−2 in Reclamation_TS and Succession_TS, respectively up to 162 ind m−2 in the Robinia_TS. The reclamation treatment was a major driver for soil fauna development while vegetation type was of secondary importance. Investigated soil fauna was positively related to pH value and clay content. The most stimulating variant for the development of earthworms and enchytraeids was the application of reclamation with various tree species and the planting of Robinia pseudoacacia on the topsoil.
