The paper presents the diversity of soil organic carbon (SOC) contents in soils of three reclaimed objects: external dumping grounds of mines Bełchatów, Machów and Turów. Sites vary in soil texture, age of tree stands and their species composition. The largest carbon pool in the organic level (litter) is in a dumping ground for the Turów mine,- the oldest of the objects. Similarly, the total SOC pool in the organic layer and the mineral to 30 cm deep in the soil is the largest dumping ground, Turów. The average annual increase in SOC stocks varied from about 0.5 t/ha/year in Bełchatów, after more than 1.2 t/ha/year in Machów. The annual deposition of organic carbon can be estimated at 1.7-2.5 t / ha / year. ...
The presence of municipal solid waste landfills is an inevitable spatial phenomenon that expresses the planning properties of the process of land use, economic development and the relationship to the environment. The process of land use is continuous, in which a period of planning, development and management of its operation is followed by a period of decline in the performance of (aging) and the fall of the land. Closing the landfill and reclamation results in the appearance of problem areas, i.e. of degraded areas both on the site and in the area of its influence. The paper presents the concept of development of a closed municipal solid waste landfill in the village Woźbin in the commune Cegłów and adjacent areas. According to the ‘Project of closure and reclamation of municipal solid waste landfill in the village Woźbin, in the commune Cegłów' after the operation of the landfill as well as the technical and biological reclamation, can be implemented forest restoration direction. The concept of developing the reclaimed municipal landfill and the adjacent land is assumed to introduce the planned forest reclamation and complement the recreational function which will increase the attractiveness of the area and will enable its use in ...
