Soil stressors on ecophysiology of bauxite mine impacted soil: heavy metal-acidity- organic matter nexus (2024)
Journal Article

Soil ecophysiology is adversely affected by various environmental hazards, particularly in mining regions. While there has been substantial research on the effects of coal, mica, copper (Cu), and manganese (Mn) mining, on soil quality, the impact of...
