Título: | Plant community tolerant to trace elements growing on the degraded soils of São Domingos mine in the south east of Portugal: environmental implications | Autor: | Freitas, H. Prasad, M. N. V. Pratas, J. |
Palavras-chave: | Trace metals; Metal-tolerant plant community; Copper mine; Portugal | Data: | 2004 | Citação: | Environment International. 30:1 (2004) 65-72 | Resumo: | The selection of trace element tolerant species is a key factor to the success of remediation of degraded mine soils. Mining activities generate a large amount of waste rocks and tailings, which get deposited at the surface. The degraded soils, the waste rocks and tailings are often very unstable and will become sources of pollution. The direct effects will be the loss of cultivated land, forest or grazing land, and the overall loss of production. The indirect effects will include air and water pollution and siltation of rivers. These will eventually lead to the loss of biodiversity, amenity and economic wealth. Restoration of a vegetation cover can fulfil the objectives of stabilization, pollution control, visual improvement and removal of threats to human beings. Thus, remediation of mine spoils/tailings and biogeochemical prospecting would rely on the appropriate selection of plant species. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/3921 | Direitos: | openAccess |
