The article discusses how mining in Shanxi Province, China, damages the environment by creating derelict land and polluting water and soil. To address this, the province is working on restoring and reclaiming the land to create sustainable ecosystems. The key principles for ecological restoration include ecological engineering and ecological succession. By focusing on new land construction, treating toxic substances, controlling soil erosion, managing fertility, and establishing legislation systems, the province aims to optimize land productivity and soil fertility. The research shows that successful restoration requires integrating these approaches to rebuild ecosystems in mined land.
