Mining is a devastating operation, which is associated with problems of deforestation, waste disposal, water pollution, air pollution, seismological vibrations from blasting, soil subsidence, drop in underground water tables and soil erosion. Various technological measures should be used for reclamation of surface mined lands like contour terracing, contour trenching, mulching and normal soil placement. Biotic protection along with rehabilitation measures will reduce erosion and shall increase the vegetal cover.Full Text

The phytodiversity of the Kalakote forest region is under severe threat of biotic interferences like coal mining, encroachments, overexploitation, tourism and other allied interferences. Coalfields are situated at Mahogala, Mehtka and Tatapani in the study area. Continuous creation of infrastructural facilities on surface for mining, beneficiation, housing and other activities take a heavy toll of forest wealth. Coal extraction leads to degradation of land, addition of pollutants to air and water, deforestation, and civic environment. Anatomical and morphological studies have been undertaken on the plants growing in coalfields and their stomatal and epidermal cell frequency and stomatal indices have been compared with control plants.Full Text
