TL;DR: In this article, the analysis of high spatial resolution Unmanned Aerial Vehicle UAV imagery to assess fire severity on a 117-ha experimental fire conducted on coal mine rehabilitation in an open woodland environment in semi-arid Central Queensland, Australia was described.

TL;DR: The paper describes a case study of the Sharyn Gol Soum in northern Mongolia where a range of mining types, from artisanal, small-scale mining to a large coal mine, operate alongside traditional herding lifestyles and concludes that the lack of baseline data and effective governance mechanisms are fundamental challenges that need to be addressed.

TL;DR: In this article, a broad-scale revegetation pattern following sand mining on North Stradbroke Island, south-eastern Queensland, Australia was depicted, where the structure of these ecosystems (n = 146) was assessed by distinguishing between periods of "older" (pre-1995), and "younger" (post-1995) rehabilitation practices.

TL;DR: In this article, the success of rehabilitation is evaluated by measures of vegetation composition and structure, with native tree and understorey species richness, density and foliage cover required to achieve at least 65 to 75% of reference site values.

TL;DR: In this article, a multivariate clustering approach based on environmental data for objectively defining temperate treeless palustrine wetland communities was described, which can be used to produce objective, repeatable and defensible wetland community maps.
