This can harm plants, animals, and people who rely on the soil for food and living. Soil pollution, primarily resulting from mining activities, has become a significant environmental concern globally. Mining processes, including the extraction, processing, and disposal of minerals and ores, release a variety of pollutants into the soil.

2024611· However, in herb layer, the heights, the coverage and the species diversity index were higher in the restoration area. Additionally, the community structure was one of the major factors that influence the diversity indices, which might be an important way for mining to impact plant diversity.
Therefore, mining had some impacts on the structure and diversity of the surrounding plant communities, but the impacts did not reach a significant level. These results could provide scientific support for the management of the forest ecosystems around the mining area of Northeast Tiger and Leopard Park.

202499· Results: The results showed that kaolin mining significantly reduced the diversity of rhizosphere bacteria in these plants, as indicated by …
2024724· In this study, we used 16S high-throughput sequencing to investigate the effects of uranium mining on the rhizospheric bacterial …
11· The offsite effects of mines on the understory were quantified using vascular plants (woody and herbaceous), bryophytes and lichens. Mine offsite effects impacted …
202499· Results: The results showed that kaolin mining significantly reduced the diversity of rhizosphere bacteria in these plants, as indicated by the Shannon, Simpson, Chao1, and observed species indices (p < 0.05). Kaolin mining had an impact on the recruitment of three rhizosphere bacteria native to the area: Actinoplanes, RB41, and Mycobacterium.
201431· We concluded that the time lag expressed by changes in plant species diversity occurred in response to changing patterns of construction …
87· Abstract Coal mining and grazing cause land degradation. Plant diversity loss is one of the characteristics. Ground surveys cannot analyze the effects of mining and grazing on …
2025318· In this study, field investigations and analyses were performed to evaluate the state of heavy metal pollution and microbial diversity in the soil around Qixia Mountain lead–zinc mine in Nanjing, China. The effect of plant-/microorganism-induced mineralization on the remediation of the contaminated soil was studied via pot experiments.
71· Potentially toxic elements (PTEs) generated from mining activities have affected ecological diversity and ecosystem functions around the world. Accurately assessing the long-term effects of PTEs is critical to classifying recoverable areas and …
2025113· The authors contributing to this research explored how plant diversity influences ecosystem resilience, including its impact on nutrient cycling, productivity and interactions with other species. The authors analyzed how different disturbances, from natural events to human-induced activities, interact with plant diversity to form resilience.
