Assessment of Mycorrhizal load in sediments and soils from reference sites and remediation sites associated with the Colomac mine remediation

由于认识到以前采矿作业、矿场关闭和补救努力对环境造成的后果，管理采矿业的政府机构执行了更严格的程序和准则。要成功地满足这些新法规的要求，就需要采用新的补救程序。我们提案的目的是为位于安大略省萨德伯里的一家专门从事矿区修复和植被恢复的加拿大公司Flat River Consulting （FRC）提供一种新的方法来衡量北部矿区恢复工作的成功程度。恢复工作的成功在很大程度上取决于菌根真菌；与几乎所有维管植物的根密切相关的土壤真菌(2)。众所周知，植物群落

Recognition of the environmental consequences of previous mining operations, site closures and remediation efforts has resulted in the implementation of more stringent procedures and guidelines by governmental bodies regulating the mining industry. Successfully meeting the demands of these new regulations requires the adoption on new remediation procedures. The objective of our proposal is to provide Flat River Consulting (FRC), a Canadian- based Company in Sudbury Ontario that specializes in mine site remediation and revegetation, with an a new approach to measure the success of restoration efforts in Northern Mine Sites. The success of restoration efforts is in a large part dependent mycorrhizal fungi; soil fungi that form intimate associations with the roots of almost all vascular plants(2). It is know acknowledged that plant community
