Key Points

This research aims to identify alterations in soil characteristics due to coal mining and assess rehabilitation methods for abandoned mine sites.
Collected 36 surface soil samples (0-20 cm) from abandoned coal mine areas in Cankiri province, Turkiye.
Dug 3 soil profiles within the coal-mining area to assess soil characteristics and chemical composition.
Analyzed soil-test values for various nutrients including iron, copper, and zinc.
Soils exhibited high amounts of iron (>4.5 mg kg-1 Fe) and copper (>0.2 mg kg-1 Cu).
Soil nutrients were found to be critically low, emphasizing the need for rehabilitation.
Identified potential methods for economically sustainable soil rehabilitation in affected areas.
