ASSESSMENT OF FOREST VEGETATION POTENTIAL OF RECLAIMED AREAS AFTER ILMENITE MINING USING THE REMOTE EARTH SENSING METHOD

The mining of ilmenite has irreversible negative environmental impacts on the ecosystem of the area where mining companies operate. First of all, it leads to disturbance of the soil and vegetation layer, changes in the natural landscape, formation of depression sinkholes, which causes changes in water flow and water distribution in the mining area, lowering of groundwater levels, pollution of the atmosphere, soil and water bodies, and loss of species diversity of flora and fauna.
