Abstract

The objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of soil neutralizing treatments on soil characteristics and growth of Miscanthus sinensis Anderss., in the acid soil of abandoned metal mine for selection of proper neutralizer. The kinds of soil neutralizers were acid mine drainage sludge 10%, 20%, bottom ash 1%, 2%, fly ash 1%, 2%, Waste-Lime+Oyster 1%, 2% and compost. The most effective neutralizers were acid mine drainage sludge 10%, 20% and Waste-Lime+Oyster 1%. Waste-Lime+Oyster 2% was considered second effectiveness. Bottom ash 2% showed promoting shoot growth of M. sinensis Anderss., acid mine drainage sludge 20% for root growth. But the case of total growth, bottom ash 1%, 2% and acid mine drainage sludge 20% were the most promoting treatment. Soil pH, C/N ratio and available P showed effective to shoot growth, while root growth was influenced by soil pH and available P. In case of total, soil pH affected. After consideration to growth of M. sinensis Anderss., soil characteristics which affected to growth of M. sinensis Anderss., and soil characteristics of each treatment, it is applicable of bottom ash 1% firstly, and bottom ash 2% secondly for rehabilitation in abandoned metal mine. However, it is necessary to consider for the cost of neutralizer before the application of rehabilitation.

Soil chemical characteristics according to treatments (p < 0.05).
