Characteristics of soil enzymes and the dominant species of repair trees in the reclamation of coal mine area

In order to study the soil enzyme content at the mine reclamation area and choose a tree species with superior restoration capabilities, this paper takes Huainan Datong Mine as the study area, and five different enzymes under nine tree species as the study subject. The different enzyme activity indexes were measured, and the correlation analysis and the principal component analysis (PCA) method were applied to evaluate and screen the tree species with advanced restoration. The results demonstrate that there are some correlations among the different soil enzymes, including some very significant positive correlations among urease, phosphatase, invertase and protease. The best species in terms of repair is privet, and the worst is Haitong. This study provides a scientific basis for the selection of restoration-capable tree species in the reclamation area of the coal mine.
