Mining-induced ground fissures are the main type of geological disasters found on the Loess Plateau, China, and cause great impacts on the soil properties around ground fissures. However, little research has been conducted on the quantitative relationship between ground fissures and changes in soil properties. To address this, 40 ground fissures in the …
In this study, the effect of underground mining subsidence on the native soil properties was examined through physicochemical analysis and statistical analysis using a …
One of the areas that cannot be left out regarding the impact of mining on the environment is its effects on soil quality. Most mining sites are incapable of supporting crop production due to severe soil erosion (Fig. 3) (Asensio et al., 2013) and heavy soil compaction caused by the use of heavy machinery (Obiri-Nyarko et al., 2014; Sheoran et ...
Currently, some attempts on infiltration and spatial distribution of soil moisture have been conducted in some underground coalmine areas, and the effects on soil physical properties and hydraulic properties of coal mining and land rehabilitation have been extensively studied in some opencast coalmines (Chen et al., 2008, Gates et al., 2011, Yu ...
SOIL SCIENCE ANNUAL Environmental impacts of mining activities in Morocco kg –1 and 38076 mg Zn kg –1 ), had a significant impact on soils surrounding the site.
1. Introduction. Cover crop management between cash crops is one of the oldest farming practices and is presently gaining attention worldwide (Romdhane et al., 2019).Cover crops may include any plant species grown for purposes beyond primary grain or forage production and are generally classified as leguminous broadleaves, non-leguminous …
The impact of coal mining subsidence on the surface eco-environment can be characterized as the evolution of a complex system. The complexity and stochastic nature of the ecological background conditions (soil …
In order to assess the impact of this opencast Manganese mining on surrounding soil, several soil samples were collected from surface to a depth of 30 m and analysed.
Mining activities have increased the accumulation of heavy metals in farmland soil and in food crops. To identify the key soil properties influencing heavy metal bioavailability and accumulation ...
1. Introduction. Coal-based power plant represented one of the pillars of the Italian energy system up to the 70′s (Bartoletto and Rubio, 2008), supporting the development of the country postwar economy (Magazzino, 2014).The necessity of energy for the reconstruction and the development of new industrial production led to the exploitation of the country most …

Twenty soil samples were collected from North of Atbara (Dar-Mali locality),River Nile State, Sudan (17.82289 to 17.82389N and 33.99974 to 34.02127E) inside and outside gold mining area in order to assess the influence of the gold …
Mining activities, including prospecting, exploration, construction, operation, maintenance, expansion, abandonment, decommissioning and repurposing of a mine can impact social and environmental systems in a range of positive and negative, and direct and indirect ways. Mining can yield a range of benefits to societies, but it may also cause conflict, not least …
1. Introduction. Most Ethiopians rely on agriculture as their main source of income (Wendimu 2021) and earn their livelihood through agricultural activities [1].This significant reliance on agriculture has increased the susceptibility to land degradation problems [2].Land degradation has resulted in socioeconomic and environmental challenges owing to inappropriate …

Mining activities degrade the landscape and ecosystems by introducing new land uses that alter soil characteristics. Mapping of this degradation is critical, particularly in the context of environmental protection, including climate change research. Even though mining provides significant industrial and economic benefits to society, it also decreases soil organic …

Mining of mineral resources results in extensive soil damage, altering microbial communities and affecting vegetation …
The impact of coal mining subsidence on the surface eco-environment can be characterized as the evolution of a complex system. The complexity and stochastic nature of the ecological background conditions (soil quality, vegetation distribution, and geological structure) and coal mining conditions (mining depth, seam thickness, and speed) make the response …
Over the years, cultivation using sustainable tillage practices has gained significant importance, but the impact of tillage on soil water infiltration is still a concern for landowners due to the possible effects on crop yield. This study investigates the impact of different tillage managements on the infiltration rate of sandy clay loam soil under a semiarid environment. …
