provides new insights into how to restore active geological processes and slow biological processes in extreme environments following the culmination of the land reclamation work of the area that hosted the Svea coal mines.
The mines operated for over 100 years in Svalbard, a Norwegian archipelago between mainland Norway and the North Pole and one of the world’s northernmost inhabited areas. They were specifically situated 77° North of the Equator.of the mining settlement and infrastructure, stretching more than 20 kilometres from the sea up to 700 metres above sea level, was started.
Where vegetation cover in Svalbard is sparse and slow-growing, the geological processes, such as glacial, slope, fluvial and coastal, are highly active. Thus, facilitating geodiversity meant keeping in mind that the abiotic conditions support a mosaic of vegetation cover and habitats, as well as landscape character.
Coal is being displaced in the power sector due to a surge in wind and solar additions last year, says the China National Coal Association.
