Distribution of heavy metals influenced by pumped storage hydropower in abandoned mines: Leaching test and modelling simulation.

Renewable energy generation varies frequently, making it difficult to match electricity demand. Pumped storage hydropower plants can alleviate this problem by reducing the unevenness of renewable energy generation. It is a new exploration of energy storage methods to construct pumped storage hydropower plants by using underground goaf of abandoned mines and mining subsidence water area.

Do the Reclaimed Fungal Communities Succeed Toward the Original Structure in Eco-Fragile Regions of Coal Mining Disturbances? A Case Study in North China Loess-Aeolian Sand Area.

Mining activity has caused serious environmental damage, particularly for soil ecosystems. How the soil fungal community evolves in mine reclamation and what are the succession patterns of molecular ecological networks still needs to be studied in depth. We used high-throughput sequencing to explore the changes in soil fungal communities, molecular ecological networks, and interactions with soil environmental factors in five different ages (the including control group) during 14 years of reclamation in eco-fragile mines.
