Chemical Variation and Vegetation Distribution on a Coal Waste Tip

Abstract
Colliery waste on a regraded Scottish tip was classified as burned and unburned, and the latter subdivided into pre-acid or acid on the basis of pH and extractable sulfate levels. Burned material contained more extractable Al than unburned material; both burned and unburned material varied considerably in chemical properties. The nutrient and trace metal contents of Chamaenerion angustifolium growing on various areas reflected the acetic extractable levels in the waste.
