Mine Land Reclamation and Eco-Reconstruction in Shanxi Province I: Mine Land Reclamation Model
Coal resource is the main primary energy in our country, while Shanxi Province is the most important province in resource. Therefore Shanxi is an energy base for our country and has a great significance in energy strategy. However because of the heavy development of the coal resource, the ecological environment is worsening and the farmland is reducing continuously in Shanxi Province. How to re...
متن کاملLand Reclamation Natural Revegetation of 15 Abandoned Mine Land Sites in West Virginia
Fifteen AML sites ranging in age from 13 to 35 yr in Northern West Virginia were selected from three surface-mined coal beds (Pittsburgh, Freeport, and Kittanning) to evaluate plant invasion and establishment on disturbed sites. Three 10 m by 10 m plots were randomly located on each site, and cover, density, and stem diameter of all woody plant species were measured. Herbaceous and plant litter...
متن کاملA GIS-based decision support system for revegetation and reclamation of Opencast Coal Mine spoils
Abandoned coal mine spoils can result in severe pollution and have aesthetic on the local environment. A range of reclamation techniques is available for substrate but only through the use of vegetation to stabilize coal mine spoils can complete long-term rehabilitation be achieved. Experimentation has been undertaken at coal mine sites to attempt to elucidate and overcome limitations to vegeta...
متن کاملMeasurement of Genotoxic Endpoints in Earthworms Exposed to Radioactive Wastes from an Abandoned Uranium Mine
The main objective of this study was to assess the sensitivity of genotoxic endpoints, to be considered in earthworm’s reproduction assays, performed under the evaluation of soils contaminated with radioactive wastes. Earthworms were exposed, under laboratorial conditions, to a contaminated soil from the Cunha Baixa uranium mine and to LUFA 2.2 soil (control soil). Earthworms (Eisenia andrei Bo...
متن کاملBehaviour and mobility of U and Ra in sediments near an abandoned uranium mine, Cornwall, UK.
Sediment samples were collected from the vicinity of the abandoned South Terras uranium mine in south-west UK and analysed for uranium and (226)Ra to explore their geochemical dispersion. The radioactivity concentrations in the sediment samples were measured using alpha spectrometry for uranium, and gamma spectrometry for radium. Sequential chemical extraction was applied to selected sediments ...
