Soil biota and ecosystem development in post mining sites / / editor, Jan Frouz, Faculty of Science, Institute for Environmental Studies, Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic.

"Mining supplies numerous raw minerals that are essential for economic development. In many cases, however, mineral extraction causes severe destruction of the environment. Large areas can be literally erased by excavation and dumping of overburden. In addition, mining and postprocessing of raw...
