Causes and Consequences of Inadequate Biological Reclamation of Mine Lands: Case Study Bor, Serbia
Abstract
Several decades after termination of dumping at the mine waste sites in Bor area
biological reclamation process has been only sporadically implemented, with very
limited success. Overburden dumps and tailings nowadays present the source of
contamination for surrounding environment by spreading the particles enriched with
metals into the pedosphere, biosphere, atmosphere, and hydrosphere. Wind and water
erosion, as well as the chemical leaching of wastes are the main vectors of pollution.
This paper presents case study of inadequate biological reclamation process in one of
the largest copper mine basins in Europe, aiming to summarize the causes and
consequences of such a case.
