STATUS KEKRITISAN LAHAN DI LAHAN BEKAS TAMBANG TIMAH DI KABUPATEN BARAT ASSESSING QUALITY OF TIN-MINING AREA IN WEST BANGKA REGENCY
Daftar Isi:
- Tin mining in Bangka has been practiced for hundreds of years. Although it is able to improve the welfare of the community, tin mining activities have also caused land degradation where land has lost their natural productivity. Therefore, restoring the capacity of ex-mining areas to produce plant biomass is a challenge. The current study is conducted to evaluate the level of land degradation associated with tin mining activities in West Bangka. To evaluate the impact of tin mining activities on soil quality, both Undisturbed Areas (Secondary Forests, Agroforestry) and Tin Mining Areas were observed. This study revealed that the level of degradation of the former mining area ranged from moderate to severe.
