Restoring Forests and Associated Ecosystem Services on Appalachian Coal Surface Mines
Carl E. Zipper,James A. Burger,Jeff Skousen,Patrick Angel,Christopher D. Barton,V. Davis,Jennifer A. Franklin +6 more
TL;DR: Reclamation of coal mines using the FRA is expected to restore these lands’ capabilities to provide forest-based ecosystem services, such as wood production, atmospheric carbon sequestration, wildlife habitat, watershed protection, and water quality protection to a greater extent than conventional reclamation practices.
The forestry reclamation approach
TL;DR: The Forestry Reclamation Approach (FRA) is a method for reclaiming coal-mined land to forest under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act (SMCRA).
The Appalachian Regional Reforestation Initiative
TL;DR: The Forestry Reclamation Approach (FRA) is a method for reclaiming coal-mined land to forest under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act (SMCRA) as discussed by the authors.
Mine Reclamation Practices to Enhance Forest Development Through Natural Succession
John W. Groninger,Jeff Skousen,Patrick Angel,Christopher D. Barton,James A. Burger,Carl E. Zipper +5 more
TL;DR: In the forested Appalachian region, disturbances from storms, fire, logging, or mining can disrupt or destroy established forests as discussed by the authors, and natural processes that lead to restoration of the forest vegetation after such a disturbance usually begin quickly and result in development of another forest.

Water quality characteristics of discharge from reforested loose-dumped mine spoil in eastern Kentucky.
Carmen T. Agouridis,Patrick Angel,Timothy J. Taylor,Christopher D. Barton,Richard C. Warner,Xia Yu,Constance L. Wood +6 more
TL;DR: To examine the effect of FRA on water quality, this study compared waters that were discharged from three types of spoils: predominantly brown, weathered sandstone (BROWN); predominantly gray, unweatheredSandstone (GRAY); and an equal mixture of both aforementioned sandstones and shale (MIXED).
