Effects of plant combination on the protection/stabilization of mined waste areas [Philippines]

Stabilization of mined waste areas using appropriate combination of trees (Pinus kesiya Royle ex Gordon, Alnus maritima Nutt, Psidium guajava Linn.); shrubs (Tithonia diversifolia Gray and Datura metel Linn.); grasses (Pennisetum clandistinum Hoch. ex. Thysanolaena maxima Knutze and Paspalum longifo...

Summary:Stabilization of mined waste areas using appropriate combination of trees (Pinus kesiya Royle ex Gordon, Alnus maritima Nutt, Psidium guajava Linn.); shrubs (Tithonia diversifolia Gray and Datura metel Linn.); grasses (Pennisetum clandistinum Hoch. ex. Thysanolaena maxima Knutze and Paspalum longifolium Roxb.) and vines (Centrosema pubescens Benth., Sechium edule P. Browne, Passiflora grandilla Linn. and Fragaria sp.) were determined. Five ye1995ars after treatment application, Alnus maritima Nutt., Pinus kesiya Royle ex Gordon and Sechium edule P. Browne combination produced the lowest mean annual soil loss (6.11 tons/ha). However, this amount was not significantly different from the other plant combinations considered. The untreated or control plots exhibited the highest mean annual soil loss (54.46 tons/ha) due to the absence of vegetative cover. The cheapest and comparatively effective plant combination was Alnus maritima Nutt., Pinus kesiya Royle ex Gordon, Centrosema pubescens Benth., Sechium edule P. Browne, Passiflora grandilla Linn. and Fragaria sp. because it only entails P21,678.03 to revegetate a 1-ha mined waste
