Abstract: Background and Objective: Post-coal mining land has poor soil physical characteristic and high metal toxicity and hence needs to be recovered. The recovery effort can be done through addition of organic material input, utilization of beneficial microorganism such as Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) and selection of suitable tree species. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of AMF and compost on the growth and uptake of nutrients and metal by Pericopsis mooniana in soil media of post coal mine land. Materials and Methods: A greenhouse experiment was carried out by using factorial Completely Randomised Design. The first factor was the AMF inoculum (Factor A): control (A0), AMF-KG (A1), AMF-UHO (A2), AMF-Vale (A3), AMF-CA (A4), AMF-HA (A5), AMF-BJ (A6), AMF-Mycofer (A7) and the second factor was an organic material (Factor B): ex-mined soil+without any organic material (B0), soil, compost, sand (2:1:1) (B1) and soil, compost, sand and rice husk (2:1:1:1) (B2). The experiment was carried out for 5 months on a greenhouse scale. After 150 days the seedlings were collected to quantify growth parameters, mycorrhizal root colonization rate and number spores and nutrient uptake. Results: The results showed that the local AMF was able to colonize the roots of the P. mooniana and increase in the growth and dry weight of plants and also tend to increase the C, N, P, K, Ca and Mg accumulation. The enrichment of organic material in the coal mine media stimulated the growth and nutrient uptake. P. mooniana performs phytoremediation mechanisms through rhizofiltration techniques (Fe, Cd, Pb) and phytoextraction (Cr and Mn). Conclusion: Inoculation with AMF and the enrichment of organic materials have the potential to support post-coal mining land restoration.
