Abstract: (739 Views)
Mining areas have become a major environmental problem for developing countries due to their undesirable effects of dust pollution and digging operations. The objective of this study was to examine the effect of dust emitted from pumice mining areas on canopy coverage, functional plant groups and seed bank, and growth performance of common plants in areas surrounding the mining. Canopy coverage increased with decreasing dust accumulation, while dust led to different effects on functional plant groups and seed bank. The height and the bunch of Festuca ovina L., the dominant plant species, increased with distance from the dust center. Dust emission on natural environment must be reduced by using appropriate technologies during operation to minimize its negative effects.
