Energy and CO2 fluxes in the early stage development of reclaimed and unreclaimed post-mining areas by Aysan Badraghi, Ondřej Mudrák, Jiří Kučera, Leonardo Montagnani, Jan Frouz

“…To address this gap, we conducted the first direct measurements of net ecosystem exchange (NEE), latent heat (LE), and sensible heat (H) using paired eddy covariance towers at both reclaimed and unreclaimed sites during the growing seasons of 2020, 2021, and 2023 in the early stage of succession in Czechia. Our novel results show that early post-coal mining sites were net sources of CO2 but became carbon sinks on a monthly scale within four years, highlighting the rapid ecosystem recovery at both sites. …”
