Abstract: The reclaimed soils fertilized with sewage sludge and increases nutrient content required for proper growth and development of plants and organic matter. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of sewage sludge and mineral fertilizers on changes in organic carbon concentrations in light soils. Sewage sludge used as soil amendment contributed to an increase in organic carbon concentrations in the analyzed light soils. Organic carbon content increased over two-fold in wasteland and three-fold in the overburden. Supplemental NPK fertilization significantly increased organic carbon concentrations in the analyzed soils. The organic carbon con- tent of soil was higher in all NPK-fertilized treatments than in unfertilized treatments.
