As one of the largest carbon"reservoirs"in the world,the role of mines in the global carbon cycle has attracted much attention.In this study it aims to systematically sort out and deeply analyze the roles and mechanisms of mine ecological restoration in carbon sequestration and carbon neutrality.At the same time,it concludes the methods for assessing carbon sequestration potentials,to provide a scientific basis for formulating mine ecological restoration measures aimed at ecological restoration and carbon sequestration,and help to accelerate the achievement of the"dual-carbon"goal.In this study establishes a conceptual model of the carbon cycle in the mining ecosystem.Based on the principles of mine ecological restoration,it discusses three major restoration measures,including topographic and geomorphic remodeling,soil reconstruction and revegetation,and their carbon sequestration mechanisms,as well as the keys in their implementation.Besides,this study summarizes the carbon sequestration potential assessment model and method.The next step of the study should be to optimize the restoration measures and improve the accuracy of carbon sequestration assessment based on sustainable development,to prolong the maintenance time of the ecological benefits of mine restoration and contribute to the sustainable development of carbon sequestration capacity of mine ecosystems.
