Sustainability Analysis of Mine Rehabilitation Using Native Plants: A Case Study of the Qinling Mountains

This paper discusses the environmental impact of mining activities and the crucial role of native plants in ecological restoration. Case studies from the Qinling region demonstrate that native plants can effectively improve soil quality, increase biodiversity, reduce heavy metal pollution, and prevent soil erosion. By constructing a sustainability evaluation index system across ecological, economic, and social dimensions, the article assesses the long-term effects of restoration projects and proposes strategies to enhance their sustainability. Looking forward, technologies such as genetic engineering, microbe-plant interactions, intelligent management systems, and ecological engineering are set to further improve restoration efficiency. Artificial intelligence, in particular, will play a key role in data analysis, monitoring and early warning, automated management, and ecological model construction. In summary, the application of native plants in mine restoration is not only vital for ecological recovery but also significant for promoting socio-economic development. With the advancement of new technologies and societal participation, future mine restoration work will become more sustainable, bringing greater benefits to humanity and the natural environment.
