effect of copper mining on vegetation disturbances in and out of Oyu Tolgoi mining site

Since 2005, the mining sector has been a vital part of Mongolia's economy. This is one most important sources revenue. Primary outputs industry are copper, gold, and coal. On other hand, negative impact on environment causing soil erosion, noise pollution, water biodiversity loss. The Oyu Tolgoi copper mine located in semi-arid zone Mongolian Gobi. was investigated by sampling eight plots both out this giant site. Vegetative cover, species richness, biomass, basal gap perennial plants were compared within outside perimeter sites have harmful environment. According to our findings vegetation plant gaps not different between paired inside Mining activities had little effect vegetation, according findings.
