A novel fast-vegetative propagation technique of the pioneer shrub on mine tailings by adding compost.

Interest in has increased as an alternative for assisted phytostabilization due to its spontaneous colonization of tailings dumps. The search for a novel fast-vegetative propagation technique to accelerate its coverage on mine tailings is a promising research area for sustainable mine closure plans. In this study, we determined the optimal proportion of compost and tailings as growing media to promote fast propagation through a compound layering technique.
