Abstract

In the coming decades, mineral extraction will cease at several locations in the Czech Republic. This article examines the transformation of these sites into natural carbon storage reservoirs after mining has ceased. This innovative approach supports sustainable land use, helps mitigate climate change, and restores ecological landscape functions.
