英文摘要	In arid mining areas in China, several environmental issues, such as significant soil water and fertilizer seepage, high evaporation, and haphazard stacking of mining strips, make reforestation challenging. In this study, a novel pattern for enhancing water-retention in reconstructed soil using scientific ratios of mining strips is proposed. Experiments involved the utilization of two mining strips: crushed weathered mudstone (CWM) and crushed weathered sandstone (CWS). Four particle diameters (<0.25, 0.25-0.5, 0.5-2, and 2-5 mm) were employed to create three types of reconstructed soil (gravelly sandy soil, coarse-grained sandy soil, and medium-grained sandy soil). Afterwards, soil water-retention and related properties, as along with their relationships, were analyzed using multiple regression analysis, correlation analysis, and cluster analysis. The results reveal that proportions and particle sizes significantly (P < 0.05) influenced the physical and water-retention properties of reconstructed soils. Multiple regression analysis demonstrates a strong association between soil water-retention and particle size. Correlation analysis indicates that CWM has a more pronounced impact on the properties of reconstructed soil compared to CWS, especially within particle size ranges of 2-5 mm and 0.5-2 mm. Furthermore, the influencing factors on the reconstructed soil differed across the three stages of evaporation. It is recommended to maintain CWM content within 50%-70% to effectively inhibit evaporation and prevent water leakage. Among all, coarse-grained sandy soil stands out as a suitable option due to its excellent water-retention capacity. The findings can be valuable in the design and application of soil reconstruction and in alleviating water and soil loss in arid areas.
