Rebuilding Sustainable and Functional Biodiversity following Coal Mining. Open-cut mines are a significant land-use in Australia and generate considerable GDP. Poor management prior to mining has caused much topsoil to be lost and microbes vital to sustainable nutrient cycling reduced to <10% that of a sustainable forest. To address this problem we are developing a rehabilitation model using Mount Owen open-cut coal mine which passes through a Upper Hunter forest. This project will discover ways of utilizing microbe-derived nitrogen vital to a sustainable supply for native forests. Our aim is to reestablish these microbes in mine soils and determine their impact on forest community development.

煤炭开采后可持续和功能性生物多样性的重建露天矿是澳大利亚土地利用的重要组成部分，产生了可观的GDP。采矿前管理不善导致大量表土流失，对可持续养分循环至关重要的微生物减少到可持续森林的10%。为了解决这个问题，我们正在利用欧文山露天煤矿开发一个修复模型，该煤矿穿过上亨特森林。该项目将发现利用微生物衍生氮的方法，这对原生森林的可持续供应至关重要。我们的目标是在矿山土壤中重建这些微生物，并确定它们对森林群落发展的影响。
