Abstract This research project is aimed at assessing the soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration potential of reclaimed minesoils (RMS) and is supported by U.S. Department of Energy--National Energy Technology Laboratory. The proposed research focuses on: (1) assessing the sink capacity of RMS to sequester SOC in selective age chronosequences, (2) determining the rate of SOC sequestration, and its spatial (vertical as well as horizontal) and temporal variation, (3) developing and validating models for SOC sequestration rate, (4) identifying the mechanisms of SOC sequestration in RMS, (5) evaluating the potential of different methods of soil reclamation on SOC sequestration rate, soil development, and changes in soil mechanical and water transmission properties, and (6) establishing the relation between SOC sequestration rate, and soil quality in relation to soil structure and hydrological properties.
