Abstract
On a study site in the Lusatian lignite mining region (Germany), sandy mine spoil was ameliorated with either sewage sludge, compost or mineral fertilizer. Plots were sown with the grass Secale multicaule and planted with pine seedlings except for a control that was not meliorated and not revegetated. Pitfall catches of ground beetles in 1996/97 yielded high numbers of species and individuals directly after revegetation. The dominant beetles were xerophilic species, known to prefer open sandy sites. Catches in different plots were positively correlated with the amount of vegetation cover and declined as follows: amelioration with sewage sludge > compost > mineral fertilizer > untreated control. Even beetles characteristic of open sandy sites showed a distinct preference for plots with high vegetation cover treated with organic waste. For the dominant species, an attraction to shelter and a more balanced, humid microclimate is assumed. A year-to-year comparison showed an increase in beetles typical of dry grasslands and ruderal sites in the second year, while characteristic species of open sandy sites decreased. Application of organic waste combined with revegetation led to an immediate increase in beetle numbers. In the long term, revegetation would be expected to reduce suitable habitats for endangered ground beetles which prefer open sites with poor sandy soils.

Abstract
The effects of a slow-release N-enriched rock powder on soil chemistry, on the development of the soil vegetation (field layer vegetation), on the nutritional status of pine seedlings (Pinus sylvestris L.), and on decomposition rates of cellulose in lignite-poor mine spoils were studied. In the initial phase after afforestation fertilization caused a significant increase in NO3--N concentrations in the soil solution of the top-soil (0-60 cm). Subsequently, NO3--N concentrations of all N fertilized treatments decreased with the exception of the highest N application area (500 kg N ha-1 ). This decrease of NO3--N concentrations was related to the establishment of a field layer vegetation, which developed according to the amount of N applied. In the above-ground phytomass of the field layer vegetation a maximum N accumulation amount of 22 kg ha-1 was measured. Cellulose decomposition increased with higher N application rates. In the second year after N-fertilization, the pine needles indicated insufficient supply for almost all nutrients except for N. The deficiency symptoms were most pronounced at the plots that had received the highest amounts of nitrogen. This phenomenon appears to be related to the competition by the field layer vegetation.

Abstract
Summaries (De, En)
In der Untersuchung wurde der Koederstreifentest zur Bestimmung der biologischen Aktivitaet rekultivierter Kippenstandorte eingesetzt. Die Untersuchungsflaechen umfassen drei Altersstadien einer Kiefern-Chronosequenz. Der Koederstreifentest wurde mit zwei verschiedenen Koedermischungen durchgefuehrt, um einerseits zu klaeren, ob sich der Test grundsaetzlich zur Abschaetzung der bodenbiologischen Aktivitaet dieser Standorte eignet und ob es andererseits Unterschiede zwischen den Altersstadien gibt. Des weiteren sollte der Frage nachgegangen werden, ob unterschiedliche Koedermischungen zu unterschiedlichen Frassaktivitaeten fuehren. - Als Ergebnis kann festgehalten werden, dass der Koederstreifentest zur Messung der bodenbiologischen Aktivitaet von jungen Kippenstandorten geeignet ist. Die Gesamtfrassaktivitaet nimmt mit zunehmendem Bestandesalter zu. Es konnten aber keine signifikanten Unterschiede in der Gesamtfrassaktivitaet zwischen der verwendeten Standard- und Fertigkoedermischung gemessen werden. - Bei den Standorten handelt es sich um einen - im Jahr 1998 - 16jaehrigen Pinus nigra (BB), einen 20jaehrigen Pinus sylvestris (MR) und einen 34jaehrigen P. sylvestris-Bestand (DD, mit zwei Standortauspraegungen; mit Bodenvegetation = DDmV bzw. ohne Bodenvegetation = DDoV) sowie einen 37jaehrigen Quercus rubra-Bestand (DDQr) im Lausitzer Braunkohlenrevier. Mittlere Jahresniederschlaege liegen zwischen 600 und 650 mm bei einer mittleren Jahrestemperatur von 8,5øC (Grosser 1998). In den untersuchten Forstbestaenden betraegt der Bestandesniederschlag zwischen 322 mm (MR) und 436 mm (DDQr). Die Standorte wurden zwischen 1946 und 1977 verkippt und nach dem Domsdorfer-Verfahren (Illner und Lorenz 1965) mit Asche melioriert und vor der Bestandesbegruendung mit NPK grundgeduengt. Als Substrat liegt auf allen Standorten ein Kipp-Kohlelehmsand vor. Die Boeden befinden sich im Anfangsstadium der Bodenbildung und werden als Kipp-Lockersyrosem bzw. Kipp-Regosol angesprochen.
