THE IMPACT OF GEOLOGY ON ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT IN MINING OPERATIONS
Both biological populations and the terrain suffer greatly from mining. Mining activities upset plant communities, and the habitats that result from the mining become depleted, creating an extremely difficult environment for the growth of plants. The mining leaves behind nutrient-deficient sandy spoils that are hostile to plants, and methods of rec...
