Madre de Dios is one of the regions with the highest gold production in Perú with small and medium-sized mining being the main economic activity in this region. Informal alluvial mining increases pollution and environmental destruction due to deforestation and soil erosion. In our country there is no regulation or methodology developed to recover the areas degraded by this activity. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the impact of the installation of five cover crops on the recovery of a soil degraded by alluvial mining in the San Jacinto native community in the Tampobata district in two years of evaluation developing a soil quality index with the biological indicators used. The randomized block design (RCBD) was used, with six treatments and three replicates: (i) canavalia (Canavalia ensiformis), (ii) centrosema (Centrosema macrocarpum), (iii) crotalaria (Crotalaria juncea), (iv) stylosanthes (Stylosanthes guianensis), (v) kudzu (Pueraria phaseoloides) and (vi) a control without cover. To generate the index, the evaluated indicators were normalized and weighted using a principal component analysis. Additionally, a Spearman correlation analysis was performed to see the relationship between the different soil indicators. The five cover crops significantly improved soil quality, in addition to the biological variables that showed a significant improvement were actinomycetes, fungi, free-living N-fixing bacteria and nitrifying bacteria. Regarding soil fertility, the covers significantly increased the available potassium, especially kudzu, canavalia and stylosanthes, and also increased the percentage of stable aggregates in the soil. These results show that the crops have great potential for restoring soil quality.
