Phytodiversity and Soil Study of Siwalik Hills of Ilam, Nepal
Study of different kinds of plants, soil and climate and the quantitative analysis of vegetation structure and composition at the three VDCs of Siwalik hills of Ilam was undertaken. A total of 137 flowering plants and 9 pteridophytes belonging to 27 families of trees, 31 families of shrubs, 27 families of herbs and 7 families of ferns are reported. The tree diversity value was highest (2.235) from matured forests of Danabari (Sector II) and the least (2.021) from the regenerating forest of Chulachuli (Sector II). However, the species evenness was highest in sector III for shrub (0.183) and herb (0.128). The tree trunk volume was maximum (413623.13 m2ha-1) in case of matured forest at Danabar...
Derelict Mines
Mine areas left behind by companies that no longer exist are defined as derelict mines – those that were operated and closed at a time when most countries did not have adequate regulations requiring rehabilitation of the impacted mine areas. This book provides unique information on the extent and severity of derelict mines’ impact on environmental degradation and human and environmental health. It examines the nature of derelict mines, short-term and long-term risks to sensitive receptors, tools for monitoring and prioritizing risks, and technological advances for rehabilitation. This book considers a risk-based approach to managing derelict mines, which is reliable and cost-effective. F...
Sustainable Agriculture Reviews 29
This book addresses the threats that hamper the achievement of sustainable soil management: soil erosion by water and wind, soil organic carbon loss, nutrient imbalance, salinization, contamination, acidification, loss of soil biodiversity, surface sealing, compaction and water logging. The specific focus is on preventive and ameliorative strategies for sustainable soil management.
Dissecting the COVID-19 Pandemic
So far, several fascinating and fancy stuff have been imagined by humans. Not all imaginations are bound to happen and could be experienced. However, the current pandemic (COVID-19) seems, and now is set to surpass beyond what a human brain could have imagined. A deep socio-economic scar is in the process of being created and nobody yet knows how deep this wound is going to penetrate. At this juncture, we have congregated to produce a book entitled “Dissecting the COVID-19 Pandemic”, through the facades of global socio-economic impact. It is our pleasure to try to compile what we have seen and hence present the factual accounts to the people post February 2020, and for the days to come. ...
Revegetation and Ecotoxicological Assessment of Abandoned Copper Mine for improved Remediation Utilizing Native Plant Species
When mining activities cease, its environmental impact continues as a consequence of which all the adjacent vegetation, soils, groundwater, etc. are exposed to a very high concentration of heavy metals. The toxic heavy metals present in the tailings or ‘spoils’ of abandoned mines migrate to the surroundings and cause severe and widespread contamination of farmland soils and water bodies leading to the onset of geo-environment disasters. One such example is a recent one in Brazil that released 60 million cubic meters of mine waste due to iron-ore dam burst according to The Guardian daily dated 28 November 2015.
Bio-Geotechnologies for Mine Site Rehabilitation
Bio-Geotechnologies for Mine Site Rehabilitation deals with the biological, physical, chemical, and engineering approaches necessary for the reclamation of mine waste. As mining has negative effects on natural resources and deteriorates the quality of the surrounding environment, this book provides coverage across different types of mining industries, which are currently creating industrial deserts overloaded with technogenic waste. The book offers cost-effective strategies and approaches for contaminated sites, along with remediation and rehabilitation methods for contaminated soils and waste dumps. It is an essential resource for students and academics, but is also ideal for applied professionals in environmental geology, mineral geologists, biotechnologists and policymakers. - Deals with global and holistic approaches of abandoned mine land rehabilitation - Includes mine waste rehabilitation case studies from around the world - Covers integrated technologies, such as bioremediation of metalliferous soil - Provide strategies for sustainable ecosystems on mine spoil dumps - Offers novel methods for the remediation of acid mine drainage
