In this article we analysed the growth and biomass production of exotic and native woody species on Indian coal mine spoils. We observed higher survival of native species on coal mine spoil, though exotic species exhibited faster growth rates than the native species on coal mine spoil. However, biomass production was higher for native species on coal mine overburden. Overall, we showed that native species performed better than exotic species in rehabilitation of coal mine.
