2. The many ways mining activities impact biodiversity. Mining affects biodiversity at multiple spatial scales (site, landscape, regional and global) through direct (i.e. mineral extraction) and indirect processes (via industries …
1. Introduction. A variety of literature has addressed the outcomes of structural change in old industrialized regions around the world (e.g. Cooke, 1995; Hassink and Shin, 2005; Morgan, 2013).Within this body of literature, mining industries often stand out with regard to the physical impacts that they have had on landscapes and townscapes (Bungart and Hüttl, …
These mining landscapes often embody a history where the past economic pulse is mirrored in the present-day culture and ecology of the regions. The function and impact of historical river-based extractions tie into the broader narrative of how our ancestors harnessed natural resources and pioneered methods to channel nature's power into ...
Nature can provide analogues for post-mining landscapes in terms of landscape stability and also in terms of the rehabilitated structure 'blending in' with the surrounding undisturbed landscape. In soil-mantled landscapes, hillslopes typically have a characteristic profile that has a convex upper hillslope profile with a concave profile ...
Mining landscape ecological risk assessment entails the analysis of the direct and indirect risks posed by mining on a macro-scale in view of overall regional sustainability. It will be an important warning, as well as a practical guide for the planning and sustainable development of mining landscapes, including mining cities.

MAZOWER: Well, they are the detritus, the aftermath of great events and not necessarily the originators of them. So you have to be interested in fallout. So you have to be interested in fallout. There are lots of good reasons to be interested in this, above all because it might allow you to make connections between things that you never thought ...
The predictability of early primary succession in post-mining landscapes of eastern Germany was studied at sites 5–70 yr following dumping. This chronosequence was investigated using indirect ordination methods. The position of the vegetation types in the ordination diagram was found not to infer any temporal sequence.
Background The decision of the German federal government to cease lignite mining until 2038 or—if possible—already earlier until 2030, will cause manifold transition processes in the remaining lignite mining districts of Germany. The two largest districts are located in geographically opposite regions: The Rhineland in the western part and Lusatia in …

mining include the destruction of forest areas, alteration of habitat landscapes, and destruction of limestone karst areas, which are important global endemicity hotspots. Indirect impacts include habitat fragmentation caused by mining road construction and heavy metal leakages (Sonter et al. 2018). The first step toward integrating biodiversity
Mining provides a wealth of mineral raw materials to human beings, while also causes serious damage to environment and ecology. For decades, landscape renovation in mining wastelands has become a multi-disciplinary research focus. ... which triggered the whole landscapes difficult to show the folks. 　For the development and utilization ...
Mining affects all components of ecosystems (Nicolau, 2003a). This entails that, after mining, it is usually impossible to restore the pre-disturbance ecosystem, once there are radical changes to almost every component of the landscape, and leaving persistent non-natural landscape features, such as final voids or highwalls (Doley and Audet, 2013).
This study characterized and evaluated land cover changes and their concurrent impacts on socio-environmental land uses in a Philippines mining landscape. Using …
The region's roots are in mining and mine headframes dot the horizon. The mining giant INCO (now Vale) was a huge presence and employed a significant portion of the population. Burtynsky's photos documented bleak landscapes overrun by tailings — the left over materials once the valuable parts are removed from what has been mined.
Over the following years, Mazower, a self-described Yiddishist, was a happy customer of the Center, often ordering books across the globe. As a great-grandchild of the Yiddish playwright Sholem Asch, whose progressive …
Depuis la reunification allemande, les paysages des bassins de lignite d'Allemagne de l'Est, faconnes par l'exploitation a ciel ouvert, ont connu une profonde transformation resultant de la fermeture de la plupart des mines. De nombreux lacs de grandes dimensions ont ete constitues dans les anciennes excavations, afin de servir de support au developpement de …
Mining activities in the Cartagena–La Unión Mining District constituted during more than 2000 years the most important economic activity in this small area belonging to the Murcia Region (Southeast Spain) (Fig. 1).Related industries developed a socio-economic fabric based on metal mining and its subsequent processes: refining centers, smelters, etc.
