ABSTRACT One challenge of revegetating mined areas is establishing vegetation that quickly promotes soil cover and accumulates biomass. This work compared biomass production between a Non‐native cocktail (8 noninvasive exotic species) Native (12 species native to the National Forest Carajás, Brazil) guide selection for revegetation. Ex situ in tests were conducted Carajás Mineral Province. During ex phase, growth both cocktails was evaluated four substrates from different waste piles. In Native, Non‐native, + sown on base cut slope, with every 2 months 8 months. produced more (ex situ) had greater competitive vigor during first revegetation (in situ). Due delayed some species, initial differences disappear over time. Thus, combining non‐native recommended achieve rapid incorporation by at beginning revegetation, followed an enrichment or replacement species. approach meets legal requirements reduce application minimum while achieving quick coverage.
