dc.description.abstract	Although the mining and metallurgical industries play an important role in the natinoal economy, the wastes produced during the operation are a serious threat to environment if appropriate measures are not taken to re-establish vegetation at the degraded mine sites. The paper discusses various strategies undertaken for revegetation of the freshly degraded mining sites and focuses on the criteria for selecting the plant species for this purpose.
