Summarize what reasherchers did to improve the quality of post mining sites soil in

The researcher centred on the potential uses of biochar, charcoal primarily used for agricultural and to improve the quality of post mining sites.

A method called mountaintop removal was used by mining firms. This means that they remove rock and mineral deposits off the top of the mountain to gain access to within the coal seams. The resulting soil is infertile and strongly acidic. The compacted soil after mine proves harder to  bring seed into the soil.

The researchers  try to use biochar to help reforest the soil at the post-mining site. Before it was reseeded and replanted, they got permission to add a layer of biochar to a post-mining site. the team created “planting cells” of biochar‐enhanced soil on the post‐mining site and that showed improvment in the sapling growth.

Explanation:

1. the energy lost to disorder metabolism     -entropy

2. related to or possessing motion potential     -kinetic

3. all of the chemical reactions in an organism required for maintenance of the processes of life entropy     -metabolism

4. possible; ability to go into action or perform work kinetic     -potential

5. the study of energy and its transformations thermodynamics     -thermodynamics

kelp are large brown algae that live in cool, relatively shallow waters close to the shore. they grow in dense groupings much like a forest on land. these underwater towers of kelp provide food and shelter for thousands of fish, invertebrates, and marine mammal species.
