Land degradation, erosion and desertification • Soil erosion and prolonged droughts are main drivers of land degradation and desertification in CV • Values of soil erosion in the country show great spatial and temporal variability, depending on several factors (i.e. Land use, slope, rainfall amount and intensity, etc.) •
The history of Cape Verde is full of pirate invasions. When the first Portuguese arrived in 1456, the islands of Cape Verde were uninhabited and completely covered with vegetation. Due to the presence of humans and the degradation of pastures, the environment deteriorated slowly over the years and the remoteness of the archipelago from the
Jan 02, 2019 The study aimed to investigate the impacts of coal mining-contaminated soil on the locally grown food crops and humans health. For the active investigation and assessment, the study collected 175 samples including contaminated and control soil and various types of food crops (corn, wheat, mixed food (egg, pork meat, potato, pepper)) from Shaanxi Province. All these samples were
The hazard index (HI) and carcinogenic risk due to the exposure of some potentially toxic elements to the Santiago Island (Cape Verde) population were calculated, considering soil ingestion, inhalation, and dermal contact as exposure pathways. The topsoil of Santiago Island, compared with that of the upper continental crust, is enriched with Co, Cr, Cu, Ni, V, Zn, Mn, and Cd

May 27, 2021 The Portuguese colonization of the Cape Verde (Cabo Verde) Islands began from 1462. Initially envisaged as a base to give mariners direct access to West African trade, the Central Atlantic islands soon became a major hub of the Atlantic slave trade.Slaves were used on the sugar plantations of the islands and sold on to ships sailing to the Americas
Oct 28, 2019 Soil Degradation, Restoration and Management in a Global Change Context, volume four in the Advances in Chemical Pollution, Environmental Management and Protection series, explores a wide breadth of emerging and state-of-the-art technologies and provides the best practices to manage soils affected by degradation. Soils are the base of life, thus a sustainable soil management is
Nov 12, 2015 Table 9.15 shows that land degradation due to the most commonly used land management practices is about 2007 US$3.37 billion. Western Africa accounts for the largest cost largely due to the low adoption rate of ISFM. The cost of land degradation due to loss of carbon sequestration accounts for about 76 % of the total cost
Oct 07, 2020 Sustainable wastewater technologies minimize mining’s environmental footprint. Mining for some minerals, including coal, has been diminishing globally due to increased financial, social, and environmental pressures, but mining for lithium and other metals — used in electronics and in energy storage — is poised for a transformational decade as investment pours into the renewable-energy

May 15, 2004 Aggregate stability is a measure of the structural stability of soils. Factors that influence aggregate stability are important in evaluating the ease with which soils erode by water and/or wind, the potential of soils to crust and/or seal, soil permeability, quasi-steady state infiltration rates and seedling emergence and in predicting the capacity of soils to sustain long-term crop production
Feb 19, 2012 Obed Mountain Coal Mine Canada is located at Please Select. Location coordinates are: Latitude= 53.565, Longitude= -117.52. This infrastructure is of TYPE Coal_Mines and CATEGORY Fuels and Resources. It has 1 unit(s). The first unit was commissioned in 2009. It is operated by Sherritt Mountain Operations (Coal Valley Partnership )
A model developed by Diao and Sarpong (2007) predicted that soil degradation reduced income due to agriculture in Ghana by US $4.2 billion over the period 2006-2015, which is roughly 5% of the
The soil degradation status in Madhya Pradesh was assessed for its kind, degree, extent and severity and mapped into 55 soil degradation units. It is found that 59.1 per cent of the total geographical area (TGA) is degraded by various factors and processes. The soil degradation in the state is mainly due to water erosion, specifically loss of top soil (Wt) and terrain deformation (Wd) which
problem in Cape Verde. The high transmissivity of alluvial aquifers and beach degradation due to sand extraction directly affect soil and water quality in coastal regions. Large areas of banana culture were abandoned in Santiago, Maio, S o Nicolau due to the contamination of soil with salt and may occur in other agricultural areas in the country
The prolonged drought periods, exposure, erosion and soil degradation, which led to increasing desertification over the last decades, have been identified as the main constraints to agrarian development across the ten islands of the archipelago
Coal mining played a supportive role as provider of energy to the growing gold mining industry and indeed, many collieries were historically and are today owned by gold mining companies. To these coal mine owners it was more important to keep the costs of their own energy inputs low, than to profit from coal mining itself4. The coal
Dec 18, 2018 Cape Verde is listed as a middle-income nation and a model for other African countries. The nation’s economic success is largely due to proper management of its natural resources. Cape Verde has rules that regulate extraction and use of natural resources. The government of Cape Verde also maintains transparency in its operations
These impacts can be largely associated with water quality, physical and chemical land degradation, and air pollution through dust fall-out and emissions of particulate matter (PM) and toxic gases. In particular, AMD from coal mining results in significant pollution of land and water resources
Sep 29, 2020 The report showed that coal mining in Kogi, Benue and Gombe states has led to extensive environmental degradation including the contamination of air, water and soil with severe effects on the health of local communities. The coal miners featured in the study are Dangote Cement, ETA Zuma’s Zuma 828 Coal Limited, and Lafarge’s (Ashaka) Cement
Degradation of soluble components of industrial solid waste material due to water seepage is highly likely, and this lead to loss of soil beneath the foundation and eventually the structure might fail. Such undesired event may happen in mining subsidence areas
