Abstract:
Mining activities will
reduce quality of environment and ecosystem, whereas forest reclamation would
restore the species diversity, which was previously a forested area. Assessment
of mine reclamation success has been available, however the assessment of
environmental services improvement and ecosystem has not yet been included. The
purpose of this research was to determine recovery indicator index of
postmining reclamation based on diversity of vegetation and wild animals
(birds), index of species similarity of plants and wild animals, carbon stock
potentials, Leaf Area Index (LAI), temperature, and soil microorganism studi case
in PT Bukit Asam mining area. The result of this research was index of mine
reclamation success started from the priority of reclamation area respectively
diversity index of vegetation, Leaf Area Index (LAI), index of species
similarity of plants, soil microorganism, temperature, carbon stocks potential,
index of species similarity of wild animals (birds), and diversity index of
wild animals (birds). This research showed that, the highest index of mine
reclamation success was found in reclamation area
1995 while the lowest index was found in reclamation
area 2013.
