“…Earthworm abundance per site ranged from one to 74 individuals per 27dm 3 , with a median of 13.5 individuals. Consistent with patterns observed in proximity to MTE-rich mining sites, earthworm total abundance in urban lawns decreased with increasing MTE pollution levels in the soil (Huang et al, 2021;Lévêque et al, 2015;Mariet et al, 2020;Nahmani et al, 2003). More specifically, it was negatively associated with the levels of Cu, Hg, Zn and Pb.…”

“…RDA approach allows the use of various methods to model the structure in a data matrix, which is performed using the R software with "vegan" and "ade4" packages. The projection and angle between the soil and earthworm variable arrows reveal the correlation coe cients (Mariet et al, 2020). Pearson's correlation was calculated to determine the relationships between soil (pH, CEC, SOC, TK, TP, TN, AK, AP content, and concentrations of Cd, Pb, Cu, and Zn) and earthworm variables (diversity, density, and species) (p < 0.05).…”

In this study, we examined the influence of soil properties (pH, total potassium (TK), available potassium (AK), total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), available potassium (AP), cation exchange capacity (CEC), and soil organic carbon (SOC)), and metals (Cd, Pb, Cu, and Zn) on the density, diversity, and species composition of earthworms in the Hebei Province, North China. In total, 535 earthworms were collected from 20 sites in the study area, and belonged to three families, six genera, and ten species. Amynthas hupeiensis (39.4%) and Drawida gisti (37.8%) were the dominant species. The correlations between soil variables and earthworm composition determined using redundancy analysis indicated that SOC, TK, and AK enhanced earthworm density (total, adult, and juvenile) and species (A. hupeiensis and D. gisti) abundances. Earthworm composition remained unaffected by the metals (Cd and Pb) in the uncontaminated sites; in contrast, species were absent in areas with high metal concentrations (S19 and S20). Soil TN content was negatively and positively related to Shannon and Peilou indexes (p<0.05), respectively, indicating that TN may be pivotal in influencing earthworm diversity and species evenness. Overall, the soil properties such as K, SOC, and TN were the key variables affecting earthworm density, diversity, and species dominance.

This research addresses three main review points related to the harmful practices of artisanal and small-scale gold mining and the appropriateness of prevention approaches to resilience for local residents’ environments. First, the focus is on cases of illegal mining exploitation in North Rarowatu and Lantari Jaya, with emphasis on the aspects of disaster risk management and prevention approaches in construction areas. Second, focus is given to the abundance of gold grains in the mining area, which attracts the author to utilize a dynamic system approach to explore whether a progressive restructuring exists for avoiding casualties in the mining area. Third, the precautionary accuracy of the security forces and the government are given focus to emphasize the prohibition of mercury absorption as a mining method. This research utilizes a system dynamics methodology to investigate the review of preventive approaches for maintaining the resilience of local communities and the determinants of small-scale gold mining activities by considering other empirical testing models. This study finds that a 30–50% increase in gold production significantly results in hydrological pollution due to mercury content, increased worker deaths, and unending damage to resident ecosystems, with minimal preventive capabilities in the pre-illegal artisanal and small-scale gold mining period. Moreover, this study offers an input and output prevention approach to controlling the number of illegal gold miners while protecting the environmental resilience of local residents.
