“…The boundary of this surface is defined by the angle of draw or angle of influence, which extends upwards and outwards from the working face and varies from 8° to 45° depending on the coalfield [2,3]. In Poland mining subsidence phenomena has been studied by [4][5][6][7][8][9].…”

“…Subsidence basins worldwide share similar geomorphological and hydrological effects and a similar sequence of transformation in land use, which typically leads from fully utilised to wasteland (Quanyuan et al ., ; Abdikan et al ., ). This is illustrated very well by cases from around the world (Drecker et al ., ; Johnson, ; Martinec & Schejbalova, ; Michalczyk et al ., ; Mancini et al ., ; Quanyuan et al ., ; Harnischmacher, ; Djamaluddin, 2011; Deliormanli, ; Fan et al ., ; Lee et al ., ; Marschalko et al ., , , ; Pacheco‐Martínez et al ., ; Wójcik, ; Cheng et al ., ; Loupasakis et al ., ; Xu et al ., ), including from elsewhere within the Silesian Upland (Jankowski et al ., ; Dulias, , ; Machowski et al ., ; Rzetala, ; Machowski & Rzetala, ).…”

“…Such basins are present around the cities with the oldest coal mining traditions (i.e. Bytom, Zabrze, Gliwice, Katowice, Sosnowiec) and also in places where coal was mined for just a few decades, that is, the Rybnik Coal District (Dulias, 2011;Rzetala, 2013;Machowski & Rzetala, 2014). The process is much less spectacular in other Polish regions where mining operations are present (Michalczyk et al, 2007;Wójcik, 2013).…”

Geomorphological and Hydrological Effects of Subsidence and Land use Change in Industrial and Urban Areas

2016

Land subsidence caused by mining activities is an example of human transformation of the natural environment and leads to changes in land use. The study covers an area of 958 ha in the Silesian Upland, southern Poland. Records from the period 1890–1990 document the presence of subsidence effects in 82.9% of the study area and the maximum displacement figure is more than 30 m which translates to an average rate of 0.3 m per year. It was found that subsidence basins serve as the new local erosion base and new sedimentation basins. They are filled with sediments whose level of pollution ranges from moderate to heavy and extremely heavy. Subsidence has caused a dramatic change in the local hydrology, including the quality and quantity of the water. The specifics involve: the emergence of new closed drainage catchments with a total area of 651.1 ha; an increase in the total watercourse length (from 0.9 to 5.7 km); an increase in the river network density (from 0.09 to 0.56 km km−2); a decrease in the number (from 81 to 48) and an increase in the area (from 23.8 to 58.4 ha) of lakes and ponds; an increase in the lake coverage ratio (from 2.5% to 6.1%) and in water pollution. Subsidence has limited the potential land uses, which led to a decrease in arable land from 619.0 to 122.5 ha that gave way to other land uses, including those equivalent to wasteland.

“…Therefore, the spatial distribution of anthropogenic denudation refers to geological composition. Among the researchers who studied the scale of that process in Polish mining areas we can list: Żmuda (1973), Szczypek, Trembaczowski (1987), Dulias (2011Dulias ( , 2013, Kupka et al (2005,), as well as Solarski, Pradela (2010).…”

Denudacja antropogeniczna na obszarze górniczym na przykładzie zagłębia Wałbrzyskiego (sudety, polska)Abstract: In the 20 th century Wałbrzych and its surroundings was the most prominent area of coal mining in the Sudetes. Nevertheless, in 1997 the mines were closed. An intensive anthropogenic geomorphic cycle commenced there in 1865 and lasted for 130 years. The biggest transformations in landforms occurred in two basins: Wałbrzych and Kuźnice, where a complex of anthropogenic forms was created from dumps and settling ponds, as well as subsidence depression. Among the dominant geomorphic processes related to anthropopressure were anthropogenic aggradation and anthropogenic denudation. Those processes resulted in raising and lowering of the land surface. Their intensity was diverse both in time and space. The average pace of anthropogenic aggradation in the years 1865-1996 amounted to 328 mm/year and was higher in the years 1945-1996 (439 mm/year) than during the period from 1865 to 1944 (255 mm/year). In both basins: Wałbrzych and Kuźnice, there was an increase in the intensity of this process in the years 1945-1996 when compared to the period of 1865-1944. The pace of anthropogenic denudation in the Wałbrzych coal mining area was considerably lower than the intensity of anthropogenic aggradation. During the research period, the land surface lowered, on average, by 66 mm/year, whereas the pace of the process decreased from 75 mm/year in the years 1865-1944 to 57 mm/year in the period 1945-1996. A considerably higher intensity of anthropogenic denudation was noted the Wałbrzych Basin (96 mm/year) than in the Kuźnice Basin (36 mm/year). It was determined that the anthropogenic denudation balance in the in the Wałbrzych coal mining area in the years 1865-1996 was positive (+262 mm/year). When comparing the scale of anthropogenic aggradation and denudation in several coal mining areas (Wałbrzych, Upper Silesia, Ostrava-Karvina and Ruhr), it needs PRAce GeOGRAfIczNe zeszyt 153, 2018, 105 -131
