Physical and geochemical characteristics of mining wastes from Southeastern Arizona

Metadata Updated: July 6, 2024

Re-vegetation of land impacted by mining can be difficult due to physical and geochemical characteristics of mining wastes that restrict plant growth. We characterized the following mining wastes source from southeast Arizona: polymetallic tailings from the Endless Chain mine; polymetallic tailings from the Blue Nose mine; and porphyry copper waste rock from the Bisbee Coalition mines. We also characterized soil amendments commonly used in mine reclamation: a municipal waste compost and dolomite lime. Included in this dataset are mine waste and soil amendment physical characteristics (pH, water holding capacity, texture, surface area), organic matter content (organic and inorganic carbon, salt-extractable carbon, total nitrogen, microbial biomass, and stable carbon isotope values of carbon pools), and major, minor and trace elements (water-extractable, total, and sequentially extracted).
