Staf. for reclamation of coal mine overburden dump wastes, emphasizing the outcome of amendment practices using cow dung manure (CM) and garden soil mixtures on the revegetation of over-burden wastes (OB). Wastes amendment with cow dung manure and garden soil resulted in a significant increase in soil health and nutrient status along with an increment in the phytoavailability of Zn and Cu which are usually considered as micronutrients, essential for plant growth. A significant increment in the total biomass of lemongrass by 38.6% under CM20 (OB: CM 80:20) was observed along with improved growth parameters under amended treatments as compared to OB (100% waste). Furthermore, the proportionate increases in the assimilative rate, water use efficiency, and chlorophyll fluorescence have been observed with the manure application rates. Lemongrass emerged out to be an efficient metal-tolerant herb species owing to its high metal-tolerance index (>100%). Additionally, lemongrass efficiently phytostablized Pb and Ni in the roots. Based on the strong plant performances, the present study highly encourages the cultivation of lemongrass in coal mining dumpsites for phytostabilization coupled with cow-dung manure application (20% w/w).

Naturally, plant-derivative drugs have an imperative position in both traditional and modern medicine. Jharkhand is rich in biodiversity of medicinal plants. The forest area covers about 30.29% of the total area of Jharkhand. The extensive use of such medicinal plants is nowadays being adopted by almost all the developing and developed countries as therapeutic purpose. It is used to heal various diseases and also prevents the ill effects of synthetic drugs. The main objectives of this article are to identify selected native medicinal properties found in the native forest of Jharkhand and maintain the plants under ex-situ conservation Park for socioeconomic development of the tribal which has been used for multipurpose curative applications and their value addition for different diseases. In the current article a total of 41medicinal plants have been selected for study ...

Atmospheric pollution by opencast mining activities affects tree species around the mining area. ... more Atmospheric pollution by opencast mining activities affects tree species around the mining area. The present study evaluated the responses of five native tree species to air pollution in Jharia coalfield. Sites were selected as closest to farthest from the mining area. Foliar dust deposition and foliar sulphate content affected stomatal conductance, superoxide dismutase activity and ascorbic acid and, thus, increased the susceptibility of sensitive species. Ficus benghalensis and Butea monosperma showed maximum dust deposition, while Adina cordifolia showed minimum deposition. Maximum dust deposition in Ficus benghalensis lowered stomatal conductance and, thus, checked the flux of other acidic gaseous pollutants which led to minimum variation in leaf extract pH. Higher stomatal conductance in Adina cordifolia and Aegle marmelos, on the other hand, facilitated the entry of acidic pollutants and disrupted many biological functions by altering photosynthesis and inducing membrane damage. Low variations in Ficus religiosa, Ficus benghalensis and Butea monosperma with sites and seasons suggest better physiological and morphological adaptations towards pollution load near coal mining areas. Tree species with better adaptation resisted variation in leaf extract pH by effectively metabolising sulphate and, thus, had higher chlorophyll content and relative water content.

Hinustan Copper Mines (HCM) is the Asia's largest open cast copper mines and produces 70 % copper for the Indian market. The study was carried out at buffer zone of HCM in 31 forest sites of Birsha-Damoh forest range area of Balaghat district of Madhya Pradesh in India. The herbaceous ground cover (HGC) was estimated by line transect method. Results indicated that the total average herbaceous ground cover ranged from 11.2-77.44%, indicating least wildlife movement at site 14 and maximum at site 29. The dominant herbaceous plants were Cynodon dactylon followed by Lantana camara, Thysanolaena maxima covering across most of the sites. The rest of the herbaceous species were Vallaris heyne, Achyranthes aspera, Eragrostis tenella, Waltheria indica and Ocimum Gratissimum, found as casual constituents of the community. The maximum number (7) of wild animals presence in a day was observed at Cynodon dactylon and Thysanolena maxima dominated sites and minimum number (1) was observed at Lantana camera dominated forest sites.

The present study evaluated the LU/LC changes due to exploitation of coal in Dhanbad district of India during the period of 1987 to 2017. Remote sensing (RS) data indicated that out of 2043.32 ha LU/LC comprised of dense forest, low dense forest, open scrub, agriculture land, agriculture fallow, barren land, sand, river, water body, built-up and mining, constituted percent values

A study of particulate matter (PM) across transportation, mining and control (C) sites for dust attenuation capacity (DAC) in selected tree species were carried out in Jharia coalfield (JCF) to estimate the menace of dust pollution and also to measure air pollution tolerance index (APTI). Results indicated that the maximum value of PM10 and PM2.5 ranged from 54 to 174 and 29 to 78 μg m− 3 respectively across all the sites. The maximum values occurred in transportation and the minimum at C for both the particulates. Mining and transportation resulted in an increase in PM10 values by 161 and 200% and PM2.5 values by 100 and 136% respectively as compared to those in C. The mean concentration of PM10 and PM2.5 across the sites exceeded the permissible limit of 100 and 60 μg m− 3 respectively. Transportation was worse than mining due to the high proportion of hazardous fine (PM2.5) particulates. DAC indicated ...

Bricks were made using a variety of compositions of iron tailings, Ordinary Portland Cement, sodium silicate, and sand in cuboid mould (9″X 5″X 3″). The bricks were dried for 24 hours, and then kilned at 115 ± 10°C for 24 hours. Mechanical features such as water absorption, compressive strength, and efflorescence are tested. The maximum compressive strength rating of 8.58 N/mm 2 was recorded with ratios of 8:2 (Iron tailing and cement). However, in process of making it economical, the ratio of 9:1 has opted and this ratio complies with the requirement of the Indian standard (IS: 1077:1992) of the common burnt clay building bricks. Water absorption for the proposed bricks is less than that of burnt clay bricks. The lower capillary pore can prevent the formation of efflorescence. This process, with the same parameters, can be exchanged commercially, and a large number of wastes of iron ore can be used to make bricks. Therefore, the technological processes identified in this paper can convert large amounts of hazardous waste into the environment into value-added products. Iron tailing can be seen as a stable addition to clay soils, its use when restricted to making bricks. This research helps to open a new area of research.

It provides a strategy to increase diversified agro-ecosystem. So it is benefiting the effect of the incorporation of plant and animal biodiversity, nutrient recycling; biomass creation and growth through the use of natural resource systems based on legumes, trees, and incorporation of livestock. These all make the basis of a sustainable agriculture and aim to improve the food system and societal sustainability. The agroecology supports production of both a huge quantity and diversity of good quality of food, thread and medicinal crops, together with family utilization and the market for economic and nutritionally at risk populations. Sustainable agricultural practices have to tackle the conservation of biodiversity, enhanced ecological functions, social tolerance, self-reliance, fairness, improved quality of life and economic productivity of crops and live- stock. Sustainability of agriculture is viewed critically from the point of food and ecological security at the regional scale. The aim of this article is to give an overview to identify the ideal conditions of best agriculture practices and the implications and future prospects of agro-ecology for sustainable agriculture in India.
