Abstract
According with our results, it is not advisable to aim at a continuous and dense herbaceous cover composed of species that are not drought tolerant in restoration works, especially if embankments are constructed with spoil mine substrates. The restoration of opencast areas should include the use of water stress-resistant plants and careful irrigation plans.
