摘      要：The nature and extent of environmental disturbance associated with mining commonly entails completely new and challenging combinations of climate,lithology and ***,the outcomes of ecological processes associated with the recovery or restoration of ecosystems cannot be predicted reliably from previously known associations between their physical and biological *** radically disturbed sites,we propose that it is not practicable to aim for the restoration of historical ***,hybrid(reversibly different)or novel(irreversibly different)ecosystems comprising new combinations of physical and biological components,including both native and non-native species,could provide levels of stability and functionality acceptable to all stakeholders and within feasible management *** propose that limiting physical conditions of the landscape can be identified and managed,and that alternative species combinations for introduction to these new landscapes may be considered with cautious optimism.
