Description
|
This dataset aims to provide detailed insights into the edaphic conditions of mining-degraded areas at the Bom Futuro mine (RO), assessed through Embrapa's Soil Bioanalysis (SoilBio technology), alongside granulometric analyses and soil quality indices. The primary purpose is to characterize the environmental recovery status across different sub-areas of the mine, including containment structures (Jacaré Superior Dam and Jacaré Inferior Dam) and revegetation pilot areas (Seedling Afforestation Patch, Natural Regeneration Area, and Jigging Tailings Retention Valley). The nature of this dataset is quantitative, comprising results from laboratory and field analyses, including Soil Bioanalysis data (evaluating biological and chemical soil activity), granulometric analysis data (soil texture), and soil quality index values. Additionally, the dataset may include information on sample locations and the specific sub-areas studied. The scope of this dataset encompasses analyses conducted on soil samples collected from five distinct areas within the Bom Futuro mine: Jacaré Superior Dam (JSD), Jacaré Inferior Dam (JID), Seedling Afforestation Patch (SAP), Natural Regeneration Area (NRA), and Jigging Tailings Retention Valley (JTRV). These analyses are intended to characterize the soil conditions in each sub-area to understand the progress of environmental recovery and identify specific needs for optimizing revegetation strategies, contextualized within the guidelines of Planaveg and IBAMA Normative Instruction nº 28/2024 for sustainable ecological restoration.

Notes
| These data are part of an annual progress report pertaining to the project "CRAFTing Responsible Tin: A Pathway to Ethical and Sustainable Mining Practices in the Brazilian Amazon," coordinated by Prof. Dr. Maria José Mesquita. This project aims to promote responsible approaches in artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM), encouraging sustainable practices aligned with environmental recovery. The study receives support from the European Partnership for Responsible Minerals (EPRM), and is conducted in partnership with the Organization of Brazilian Cooperatives of Rondônia (Sistema OCB Rondônia) and two tin mining cooperatives in the region (COOPERMETAL and COOPERSANTA). |
