Impact of slate quarrying on soil properties in
Most of the mining area is devoid of vegetation. The soil in and around the mining area (0-1 km) is alkaline (pH 11.2-11.7) but non-saline (electrical conductivity < 4). The alkaline nature of the soil was attributed to the high concentrations of hydroxyl (OH^sup -^), carbonate (CO ^sub 3^ ^sup 2-^ ) and bicarbonate (HCO^sub 3^ ^sup -^) present
