Underground coal mining inevitably causes ground subsidence, especially in the coal-grain
composite area with a high groundwater table (HGT) in eastern China, where mining …

Mining activities degrade the landscape and ecosystems by introducing new land uses that
alter soil characteristics. Map** of this degradation is critical, particularly in the context of …

Environmental contamination due to mines disturbs biological and physio-chemical
properties of the soil. Literature available discussing environmental contamination and …

Vegetation restoration may promote the development of biological soil crusts (biocrusts) that
are colonized by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and play an important role in …

Carbon sequestration in terrestrial ecosystems plays an essential role in co** with global
climate change and achieving regional carbon neutrality. In mining areas with high …

A quantitative research on the effect of coal mining on the soil organic carbon (SOC) pool at
regional scale is beneficial to the scientific management of SOC pools in coal mining areas …

Coal mining activities have destroyed natural landscapes and surface vegetation, resulting
in a large loss of soil organic carbon (SOC) storage in farmlands. Therefore, farmland SOC …

Purpose The underground mining of coal leads to land subsidence and changes agricultural
land into a water-logged area. This study aims to examine the relationship between coal …

Coal mining activities not only damage the ecosystems located inside mining areas, but also
affect the buffer areas located within a certain radius of the mining activities. Effectively …

The restoration of soil fertility and microbial communities is the key to the soil reclamation
and ecological reconstruction in coal mine subsidence areas. However, the response of soil …
