The reclamation of post-mining areas in open-pit mining is a critical focus of modern environmental research due to its ecological, social, and economic implications. This study presents a bibliometric analysis of global research trends from 2000 to 2023, based on the Web of Science Core Collection. Key findings highlight a significant increase in publications, with China, the United States, and Canada leading the field. The analysis identifies dominant journals, influential authors, and interdisciplinary approaches emphasising ecological restoration, soil improvement, and biodiversity enhancement. Future research should prioritise climate change impacts, innovative technologies, and global collaboration to advance sustainable post-mining land management.
