Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate if species recognized as indicators for former iron ore mining sites also indicate conditions in areas affected by former lead ore mining.
- Research was conducted at an abandoned mining field from the sixteenth century, focusing on plant species in 41 plots, half of which were on post-mining mounds (PMM) related to lead ore extraction.
- Findings showed that 18 species typically associated with iron mining were found thriving on the lead PMM, suggesting that these indicator species can effectively signal ecological conditions in both types of mining sites.
