The soil infestation of Verticillium dahliae has significant Verticillium wilt of olive (VWO) with epidemiological consequences which could limit the expansion of the crop. In this context, there is a misunderstood history of the crops and soil property interactions associated with inoculum density (ID) increases in the soil. In this study, the effect of the combination of both factors was ...

In the Sokolov district (northwest Czech Republic), brown coal is mined in open-cast mines. A study of the chronosequence of unreclaimed, spontaneously developing sites revealed that earthworms are important actors in spontaneous succession (Frouz et al., 2008). In early successional sites, the plant community is dominated by resistant ruderal ...

The optimum design of an integrated mining system for polymetallic nodule mining is mainly dictated by the soil properties of extremely soft seabed at depths of 5000 - 6000 m. During the design process, the entire weight distribution and traction of the mining machine has to be configured by considering the bearing strength and shear strength parameters of the soil.

In a recent study, Duarte et al. found that mining noise from an open-cast mine (for example, trucks transiting, sirens, horns, and explosions) exhibited 1-22 dB(Z) higher levels of noise near the mining operations than in a forest site far from the mine. They also found significantly higher levels of noise at night during the wet season.

Impacts of strip mining: Strip mining destroys landscapes, forests and wildlife habitats at the site of the mine when trees, plants, and topsoil are cleared from the mining area. This in turn leads to soil erosion and destruction of agricultural land. When rain washes the loosened top soil into streams, sediments pollute waterways.

An open pit mine is typically excavated with a series of benches to reach greater depths. Open pit mining initially involves the removal of soil and rock on top of the ore via drilling or blasting, which is put aside for future reclamation purposes after the useful content of the mine has been extracted. The resulting broken up rock materials are removed with front-end loaders and loaded onto dump trucks, which then transport the ore to a milling facility.
