Minesoil Properties of 15 Abandoned Mine Land Sites in West Virginia
The characteristics of minesoils on abandoned mine land (AML) often dictate which plant species will invade and establish from nearby undisturbed areas. This study measured physical and chemical minesoil properties on 15 AML sites in northern West Virginia and matched these properties to vegetation cover. Fifteen sites ranging in age from 13 to 35 yr old were selected from three surface-mined c...
متن کاملIndicators of microbial water quality
Current guidelines in the three water-related areas (drinking water, wastewater and recreational water) assess quality, in microbiological terms, by measuring indicator organisms. This chapter looks at the history and examines some of the methods used to assess the microbiological quality of water, highlighting the current limitations and also possible future developments. Traditionally, indica...
متن کاملAcid soil indicators in forest soils of the Cherry River Watershed, West Virginia.
Declining forest health has been observed during the past several decades in several areas of the eastern USA, and some of this decline is attributed to acid deposition. Decreases in soil pH and increases in soil acidity are indicators of potential impacts on tree growth due to acid inputs and Al toxicity. The Cherry River watershed, which lies within the Monongahela National Forest in West Vir...
متن کاملStreamside Salamanders in Valley Fill and Reference Streams in Southern West Virginia
We sampled stream salamanders in southern West Virginia during 2001 in streams below head-of-hollow valley fills and in reference streams to determine if there were differing trends in relative abundance between these treatments. Head-of-hollow valley fill construction can cover headwaters, firstorder, second-order, and higher order reaches with excess spoil materials; valley fills in southern ...
متن کاملRelations between health indicators and residential proximity to coal mining in West Virginia.
We used data from a survey of 16493 West Virginians merged with county-level coal production and other covariates to investigate the relations between health indicators and residential proximity to coal mining. Results of hierarchical analyses indicated that high levels of coal production were associated with worse adjusted health status and with higher rates of cardiopulmonary disease, chronic...
