Intensive energy development is taking place in the western United States, because of the large coal reserves that are readily available by surface mining. This study provided baseline data on the physical, chemical and biological properties of spoil and topsoil collected from surface mined sites in three states (Arizona, New Mexico and North Dakota). Integration of analytical data on the physical-chemical properties of the soils with the algae present revealed distinct relationships by the cluster analysis and multiple linear regression methods. High sodium and low nitrogen levels may have accounted for predominance of blue-green algae at the Arizona and New Mexico sites. Other nutrients, such as calcium, chloride and certain trace elements may have been important to the soil algal community. The importance of algae in succession and soil genesis is stressed.
