Vegetation Community Characteristics and diversity in different phases of mining at Charhi and Kuju coal mining areas, Jharkhand, India
Journal Title: International Journal of Experimental Research and Review - Year 2022, Vol 28, Issue 2
Abstract
The increase in the energy requirement of a country shows its economic advancement. Coal mining activity has increased considerably to compensate for the increased energy requirements. As a result, open-cast coal mining methods induced a drastic change in land use and seriously jeopardized the sustainability of the ecosystem. Once disrupted by open-cast or underground mining, the condition of the land cannot be entirely recovered, making it a non-renewable asset to the environment and support of human life. An attempt was made to study the existing flora of the different zones (operating, abandoned, control) of Charhi and Kuju Coal mining area, Jharkhand, India. From 2015 to 2018,173 species belonging to 75 families of angiosperms, terrestrial and aquatic ferns have been reported and identified so far from this study area. The most dominant family is Poaceae with the maximum number of species in the area, where mining has not yet been done. This paper's findings would help assess the dominant species in this area, which can be used for reclamation of the abandoned mining areas.
