Abstract:
The surface mining, as a method of intensive exploitation of mineral raw material deposit, coal in particular, is getting more and moere applicable in the world. Consequently, it appear to cause destruction of soil. ''Soils at the open pits'' (mine soil, mine land sites, mine degraded land, antropogeomorfic soil material, technosols) have been created by antropogenic effect but seem to be different from the class of antropogenic soils in many properties. These soils have been created on various substrates that occur to be moved by mining activities in the course of technological process. These soils are called technogenic soils. Deposols within the major open pits in RS/BiH have been created from various geological-lithological sediments from the overburden of several basic types of mineral raw material. The reclamation of degraded land has the goal to reclaim its basic productive-ecological function.
