Post mining landuse selection Mining is temporary land use Mostly, the mine is closed when the resources are depleted After its closure, there is a need for proper restoration and a sound landuse selection Usually, in planning the selection process it This approach positions postmining land use as intrinsic to the mine lifecycle, including the planning and operational phases We developed a global Mining as a temporary land use: A global stocktake of

Mine closure is the process of transforming an active mine into a set of safe and stable landforms that are nonpolluting and provide habitat and ecosystem services and/or Metal Mining and the Environment (Booklet), American Geosciences Institute Provides basic information about the mining cycle, with a What happens before, during, and after mining?

Postmining recoveries Mining provides critical resources but is associated with environmental degradation owing to physical disturbance and mining by The basic mining methods used should create prerequisites for selective excavation and deposition of valuable overburden layers Hydraulic methods of extraction do not allow The restoration and rehabilitation of Iand and Soils after mining
Postmining landscapes and their endogenous development
Material postmining legacies are often the most obvious reminder of former industrial excavation activities; either as opencast mines or in the form of mining heaps We defined mining areas as all land used by the mining sector at any step in extraction and processing at the mining site Our mining areas also cover all An update on global mining land use Scientific Data Nature

Coal and Other Mining Operations: Role of Sustainability
Mining, minerals, and metals are important to the economic and social development as they are essentials for modern living However, supplies of minerals, such as coal, are limited, and sustainable management of natural resources requires the maintenance, rational and enhanced use, as well as a balanced consideration of Mining is one of the most important economic sectors in Indonesia Mining products contribute up to 17% per year of Indonesia’s total export value, and from several major mining products, coal mining contributes a value of 8727% Data from verified resources and reserves as of December 2019 showed that coal mining had the Land Free FullText Managing and Reforesting Degraded PostMining
Forest restoration following surface mining disturbance:
Early efforts to reclaim forested lands after mining disturbance often focused on revegetation with relatively little attention to landform recreation and the use of native species or reestablishment of tree cover (Grant and Koch 2007; Gorman et al 2001; Skousen and Zipper 2014; Zeleznik and Skousen 1996 )1) argue that ’the shadow of mine can affect stakeholders’ land use far outside the mining sites and long after the mine closure’ Research on postmining areas often focuses on major cities and their restructuring efforts, whereas regions with predominantly small and mediumsized towns have been overlooked; a phenomenon Postmining landscapes and their endogenous development potential for

Importance Of Mine Site Rehabilitation Erizon
The rehabilitation of mining sites is a complex and multistage process that involves careful planning, execution and monitoring Each stage plays a crucial role in restoring the disturbed land to a state that is ecologically functional, safe, and aesthetically pleasing The following are the key stages of mining rehabilitation:different mining site elements for new activities, and (3) to examine potential new mining activities in postmining sites 2 Materials and Methods 21 Spatial Data on Mining and Land Use Various openaccess spatial databases were utilized to study characteristics of metal mines and to analyze current land use and functions in postmining sitesSustainable PostMining Land Use: Are Closed Metal Mines
