DOI: 1022161/ijeab/2139 Keyword: Mining activities, Forest soil, nutrient status, Ecological indices, Soil health Abstract: Mining is essential in the economic development plan of any country endowed with mineral resourcesThis is due to both internal and external economic benefits that are made available to countries that are involved in the extraction of mineral resources The Shenfu mining area is a currently mined area with association effects of natural conditions and mining activities on vegetation variations, while the # 4 planning area of the Yushen mining area is an unexploited area only with effect of natural conditionsEffect of natural conditions and mining activities on natural habitat due to tin mining activities This paper therefore, assesses the mining activities impact on the vegetation in Bukuru area of Jos plateau in Nigeria No rmalized Differential Vegetation Index (NDVI) techniques was adopted to Maps effect of tin mining on the vegetation for the period between 1975 and 2007 using LandSat satellite An Assessment of Mining Activities Impact on Vegetation

Mineral exploitation contributes significantly to economic growth and development in most world economies In Africa, Ghana is the second largest gold producer, contributing to about 57% of the country’s GDP The mining sector in Ghana consists of both smallscale and largescale mining, each of which has varying environmental impacts This paper provides an exposition on the environmental The evidence presented through out this research has shown the various impacts of mining activities on farmlands and the extent to which it has affected food production and security in towns in and around Kyebi in the Eastern Region of Ghana The influx of mining companies in the study area showed that mining activities within the regionMINING IMPACTS ON AGRICULTURAL LANDS AND mining activities within the country highlighted Figure 1: Prospective smallscale gold mining regions in Ghana The smallscale mining sector employs thousands of people (both local and foreign nationals) but features largely rudimentary, unmonitored and uncontrolled practices (Hilson 2001)The impact of smallscale gold mining on mining
Mining, and in particular coal mining, is one of the main driving forces of land degradation in some regions of the globe (Gisladottir and Stocking 2005; Lechner et al 2016)One feature of this highly disruptive anthropogenic activity is that it often completely destroys important abiotic and biotic elements, such as surface vegetation (Bian et al 2010) Vegetation is an important part of the environment but may be subjected to disturbance in areas close to coal mines This results in a slowing of the rate of biomass growth, which is caused by fading of vegetation Simultaneously, carbon stored in vegetation is constantly released, weakening vegetation ability to act as a carbon sink Indirect release of carbon during coal mining processes is Effect of coal mining on vegetation disturbance and Gold mining communities in Ghana have experienced destruction of vegetation, water pollution, and soil contamination by activities of mining due to rapid growth and dependency on mining of natural resources within the catchment areas of the mining activities These circumstances with repercussions of corruption and inefficientCorporate Social Responsibility in the Ghanaian Mining

In Ghana, the endemic nature of Buruli ulcer in communities adjacent to mining activities suggests that proximity to artisanal and smallscale gold mining (ASGM) is a risk factor for this disease, as is the case of the higher prevalence of Buruli ulcer in the Amansie West District26 An increased risk of infection was not associated with direct The study determines the effects of mining on rural livelihoods, adopted strategies and the role of stakeholder and regulatory institutions The study achieves this by investigating the status of key rural livelihood indicators, what influence the choice of livelihood strategies in mining communities and the assessment of institutional performanceMining Effects on Rural Livelihoods, Adopted The evidence presented through out this research has shown the various impacts of mining activities on farmlands and the extent to which it has affected food production and security in towns in and around Kyebi in the Eastern Region of Ghana The influx of mining companies in the study area showed that mining activities within the regionMINING IMPACTS ON AGRICULTURAL LANDS AND
