Historical and abandoned coal mine spoil continues to generate acid-and metal (loid)-rich
porewaters and represents a geographically large and diffuse non-point source of …

Coal mine spoil is a long-lasting legacy of historic coal mining operations that continues to
impact water quality across Appalachia. Metal (loid) release from abandoned coal mine …

Acid mine drainage (AMD) from historic and abandoned coal mine spoil represents a
potential long-term source of contaminants to surface and groundwater. Determining the risk …

The abundance and oxidation states (II, III and IV) of manganese (Mn) in a weathering
profile encompassing both the soil layers (A and B horizons) and the underlaid saprolite (C …

Chemical weathering of pyrite via oxidative dissolution is well-known for generating Fe (III)-
bearing colloids at acid mine drainage (AMD) sites; however, the potential for physical …

Leaves of European larch, silver birch, and bilberry were sampled 5–7 times per growing
season in 2010–2019 in a locality near the city of Litvínov in the Krušné Hory Mts.(Ore Mts.) …

Coal mine spoil is widespread in US coal mining regions, and the potential long-term
leaching of toxic metal (loid) s is a significant and underappreciated issue. This study aimed …

Anthropogenic changes to soil properties and development can dominate soil systems,
particularly in coal mining-impacted landscapes of the Appalachian region of the United …

Historical coal mining practices have caused various soil and water hazards, particularly
through the dumping of mine waste. The primary environmental risk associated with this …

Manganese (Mn) is an essential plant micronutrient that influences photosynthesis,
ecosystem productivity, and soil carbon storage. Our objective was to quantify how Mn …
