Effects of restoration types on the distribution and stability of soil aggregates. Aggregates play a crucial role in soil structure, and their size distribution and stability affect various factors such as soil porosity, water retention, permeability, and resistance to erosion (Amézketa, 1999). In this study, the different restoration types ...

Sand Extraction: 1. Introduction
Introduction. Sand and gravel are used extensively in construction. In the preparation of concrete, for each tonne of cement, the building industry needs about six to seven times more tonnes of sand and gravel (USGS, 2013b). Thus, the world's use of aggregates for concrete can be estimated at 25.9 billion to 29.6 billion tonnes a year for 2012 alone.

Environmental Effects of Mining (Chapter Three)
The most obvious (and arguably least serious) impact of mining is its visual, or aesthetic, impact. "To conservationists," wrote Francaviglia (2004, 40), "mining landscapes seem a nightmarish expression of technology run amok." "Visually, mining produces some of the most dramatic landscapes on earth" (Francaviglia 2004, 42).
