(a) AVC α-diversity. (b) SSB α-diversity. (c) Similarity of SSB and AVC at different years of restoration. The α-diversity of the AVC and SSB in the open-pit coal mine dumping sites in different years post-restoration and the natural grassland AVC and SSB. The Jaccard similarity score of the SSB and AVC in the open-pit coal mine dumping sites in different years post-restoration. Different letters in the graph represent significant differences for the same index, P < 0.05. 2a represents restoration of a 2-year-old dump, 4a represents restoration of a 4-year-old dump, 7a represents restoration of a 7-year-old dump, 17a represents restoration of a 17-year-old dump, and CK represents natural grassland.
