“…The PI reveals Cd as the primary contributor to soil pollution, which was also reported by Niu et al (2015), and Nwankwoala and Ememu (2018) in coal mining-affected soils. However, the result contradicts Ita and Anwana (2017) and Anwana et al (2018), where they observed concentrations of Cd as relatively low compared to other metals.…”

The present study was conducted at a coal mining affected forest and a non-affected forest to analyze the seasonal changes in soil physico-chemical properties, incorporate additive and weighted soil quality index (SQI) to determine the soil quality and check the affected forest soil pollution status. Comparative SQI shows that the non-affected forest presented higher SQI in all the seasons (winter, spring, summer and autumn). However, in both the forest the seasonal additive and weighted SQI was categorised as autumn > summer > spring > winter and the overall SQI of the soil depth was ranked as 0–10 > 10–20 > 20–30 cm. The Single pollution index (PI) points out that cadmium (Cd) was the main potential contributor to soil pollution while the Pollution load index (PLI) and Nemerow integrated pollution index (NIPI) revealed moderate soil pollution status. The result summarized that coal mining activities can elevate soil deterioration rate, such as loss in soil organic carbon, reduction in nutrient availability, and slowing down the rejuvenating process of forest soil.

“…According to the current situation of Xinfeng County, the inputs of exogenous heavy metals might be due to agricultural activities, traffic and mining, which have been identified as possible pathways for inputs of heavy metals to agricultural soils (von Hoffen and Saumel, 2014;Gurel and Basar, 2015;Niu et al, 2015). It's worth noting that the range and degree of soil Cd accumulation was widest and the most severe.…”

“…In a separate report, Niu et al . 13 analyzed the heavy metals (Cu, Zn, Ni, Pb, Cr, Cd, and Hg) found in 33 surface soil samples from coal-mining land restored for use as cultivated land in Xinzhuangzi, China. The results showed that the selected elements were elevated, especially Cd 13 .…”

Coal mining areas are prone to hazardous element contamination because of mining activities and the resulting wastes, mainly including Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd and Pb. This study collected 103 samples of farmland tillage soil surrounding a coal mine in southwestern Shandong province and monitored the heavy metal concentrations of each sample by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS). Statistics, geostatistics, and geographical information systems (GIS) were used to determine the spatial pattern of the potentially toxic metals above in the coal mining area. The results show that the toxic metal concentrations have wide ranges, but the average values for Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd and Pb are 72.16, 29.53, 23.07, 66.30, 0.14 and 23.71 mg Kg−1, which mostly exceed the natural soil background contents of Shandong Province. The element pairs Ni-Cu, Ni-Zn, and Cu-Zn have relatively high correlation coefficients (0.805, 0.505, 0.613, respectively). The Kriging interpolation results show that the contents of soil toxic metals are influenced by coal mining activities. Moreover, micro-domain variation analysis revealed the toxic metals in the typical area of the coal transportation line. These findings offer systematic insight into the influence of coal mining activities on toxic metals in farmland tillage soil.
