“…One advantage was that no hazardous chemicals were used during mining, therefore, heavy metal levels, such as Pb and Cd, were low. These low levels should offer minimal health risks in post-tin-mined sites on Bangka Island, an island close to Belitung (Anda et al, 2022).…”

“…In Bangka Belitung, soil washing during the tin-mining process reduced clay particles and increased the sand content to 97% (Nurtjahya et al, 2017). Tin-mining activities changed the sandy clay loam texture, dark brown topsoil, and yellowish-brown subsoil to a sandy texture with stratification of light grey and yellowish grey or yellowish grey and reddish grey throughout the profiles (Anda et al, 2022). After more than 100 years, the post-tin-mined land in East Belitung only has less than 2% organic matter (Oktavia et al, 2015).…”

Mineral mining often results in changes to the soil environment, reducing the sustainability of the surrounding environment. Restoring the physical and chemical properties of soil in post‐tin‐mining areas on the tropical island of Belitung, Indonesia, has been a laborious process after more than 10 decades of land reclamation. We aimed to determine which parameter of the soil properties was responsible for the slow recovery process and if there were other properties that indicated more rapid changes. We measured the physical, chemical, and biological properties of soils of different periods in the post‐tin‐mining areas. We sampled soil from three areas: 0, 1, and 6 years after mining and an adjacent natural forest as a reference site. The soil water content, hydraulic conductivity, bulk density, particle distribution, mineral content, and soil microbial composition were measured in the field and analyzed in the laboratory. The soil showed a fine particle loss and despite the absence of clay, water‐holding capacity was significantly increased in the 6‐year‐old soil. Organic carbon increased by 0.2% after 6 years of reclamation. Copper, iron, manganese, and zinc in the soils fluctuated less. Minimal amounts of Pb and Cd were found. Soil bacterial communities shift with land age. Actinobacteria were dominant a few years after mining, while Proteobacteria colonized the mined area after 6 years. This study examined the more profound changes in the soil properties of tropical post‐tin‐mined land. Soil and bacterial characteristics can be used as markers to monitor the progress of land rehabilitation.

“…The tin processing on Bangka Island continues to increase, resulting in land degradation and pollution [1]. Post-mining soils have been subjected to numerous physicochemical and biological changes, resulting in a significant loss of soil organic matter (SOM), the primary source of nitrogen (N) in soil [2].…”

The low nitrogen content of Bangka Island’s post-tin-mining soil may limit its suitability for agricultural production. In this study, we investigated the effect of locally available organic soil amendments on nitrogen fixation (N2–fixation) and crop nitrogen (N) uptake in a cassava–legume intercrop system. Cassava was intercropped with centrosema in post-tin-mining soils with six treatments, including a control and different soil amendments, such as dolomite, compost, charcoal, a combined treatment of charcoal and compost, and a combined treatment of compost and sawdust. The percentages of N derived from N2-fixation (%Ndfa) with the different seasons and treatments were comparable. Nonetheless, due to the higher shoot biomass accumulation, the mass of N2–fixation in soil amended with compost and when combined with charcoal was significantly higher than the control (50 to 73 kg ha−1). Treatments with compost and its combination with charcoal exhibited higher N uptake from the cassava–centrosema intercropped system (82 and 137 kg ha−1) and higher inorganic ammonium (NH4+) concentrations in the soil at harvest time (5.5 and 6.7 µg g−1). When combined with organic soil amendments, N2–fixation from centrosema produces not only higher biomass, but also higher N contribution to the system. Overall, locally available organic amendments, particularly the combined application of charcoal and compost, showed promise for improving N2–fixation of intercrop centrosema as well as for increasing N availability in the soil, which is of critical importance for crop growth in post-mining soils that have lost fertility.
