Community structure of vegetation and biomass productionlhectarein an ecologically restored rock phosphate mine has been evaluated after ten years of restoration. Mining adversely effects the natural resources of the area viz; vegetation, soil, water etc. Productivity and natural resource components of mined lands can be restored by using natural successional patterns based on ecological principles. In the present investigation attempt has been made to evaluate the community structure and biomass of vegetation in a ten year old ecologically restored rock phosphate mine located in a tropical dry deciduous forest (pre mine) in Northern India. Findings of the present study reveal that most of the species of grasses and shrubs planted initially to restore the areas have been replaced by naturally invading species. The restored plant community has herbs and grasses> shrubs> tree pattern of multistoreyed community organization. Total aboveground standing crop biomass (oven dry weight) after ten years of ecological restoration is 43.94 tonnes/hectare mainly contributed by the tree species (93.58%).

The paper summarizes the changing pattern of environmental degradation, identifies causes of these catastrophes and discusses the role of tropical forests in ensuring the global environmental security. Steps have been suggested which will assist in protection, preservation, conservation and afforestation of tropical forests. Need to have a partnership of developed countries in preserving the global environment an regreenlng of the earth has been stressed.- Ecological Rehabilitation of Surface Mined Lands

Diversity of plants on reclaimed surface mine areas of rock phosphate mines at Maldeota (18 km from Dehra Dun) has been evaluated. Results of the study shows that diversity of plants has increased significantly after 4 years of reclamation and is even higher than the adjoining natural areas as well as lower and upper Himalayan moist temperate forest (sub-group 12 Cl and 12 C2).- Ecological Approach towards Reclaiming Mined Ecosystem

Present paper emphasizes the role of ecological approach in restoring the degraded mined ecosystem. The four important steps for an effective eco-restoration programme are (i) assessment of The problems, (ii) ecological maintainance of essential processes, (iii) preservation of genetic diversity and (iv) sustainable utilization of species and ecosystems. A case study of eco-restoration of Durmala rock phosphate mine has been presented which shows that after four years of reclamation, the area stabilizes and provides bospitable environment for bumans as well as animal species of birds, reptiles, rabbits etc.- Germination Capacity of Trema politoria Planch - an Economic Plant Species

Environmental effects of mining have been highlighted and various parameters essential for a successful reclamation programme viz:- (i) Premining bench mark survey. (ii) Site preparation, (iii) Reforestion of site-ecosystem approach. (iv) Current revegetation pratices and needs of local population have been discussed. A case study of mine reclamation works done by authors in Doon Valley (Maldeota) on above lines has been presented. It has been concluded after 4 years of reclamation and monitoring that if local species are used for such areas they comparatively more suitable and betler adapted as well as economically and ecologically viable.- Prototype Hydroseeder Developed at F.
