Increasing soil water retention with native-sourced mulch improves seedling establishment in postmine Mediterranean sandy soils

Seasonal drought and heavily impeded soils reduce restoration success in Mediterranean-type postmine soils, where up to 90% seedling mortality has been observed after 2 years. To alleviate these barriers, amendments were incorporated into the soil profile of a freshly mined sand quarry. Within the q...
