Cover Story: Coal mining produces profound alterations in hydrological and pedological conditions, disturbing processes such as overland flow, infiltration, and percolation. The formation of Technosols in coal mining residue deposition areas induces changes in the water circulation in the unsaturated zone and increases the leaching of major ions and Potentially Toxic Elements (PTEs). This study was carried out through an integrative approach in the scope of the project “SHS–Soil health surrounding former mining areas: characterization, risk analysis, and intervention” to assess changes in the hydropedological conditions in an area with a coal mining waste pile that underwent self-burning. The research results express substantial contrasts regarding hydropedological zoning, including the development of different soil profiles, diverse PTE geochemistry and mineralogy… View this paper
