Características químicas del suelo de un área rehabilitada y su relación con la vegetación y avifauna presente en una mina de ferroníquel, Montelíbano – Córdoba, Colombia

Abstract

The practice of open-pit mining is one of the activities that generates the most impacts on the ground, since it is an activity that generally eliminates all the compartments that support life in it and causes strong changes in its structure and operation. The objective of this work was to determine the relationship between the chemical parameters of the soil, the vegetation cover and the diversity of birds in an area in the mining rehabilitation process due to the extraction of ferronickel in Montelíbano - Córdoba, Colombia. The chemical properties of the sampled soils were characteristic of areas undergoing revegetation. The diversity of vascular plant species and the composition of the bird community is characteristic of areas with early succession. The relationship between the variables studied is not reported.
