Until 2005, around 12 900 ha was mined, and 10 188 ha of that had been afforested. As a result of oil shale opencast mining, the relief is rugged, the soil heterogeneous and extremely stony, nitrogen and organic content of oil-shale mining spoil low [1].

The afforested soils were grouped into three drainage classes: poorly drained soils with an E (albic) or G horizon (stagnic properties) as the second horizon; moderately drained soils with an apedal horizon as the second horizon, overlying an E (albic) or G horizon (stagnic properties); and freely drained soils with an apedal horizon as the second and third horizon (Table 1).
