Now, an international study has provided detailed

20、information on the regeneration (再生) of forests in Guyana after gold mining. The team found that forest recovery rates on abandoned mines are amongst the lowest ever recorded for tropical forests. At some sites there was nearly no tree regeneration even after three to four years since mining had sto

21、pped.The study shows that tropical forests are strongly affected by mining activities, and have very little capacity to re-establish themselves. The mining process has removed almost all nitrogen from the soil, a critical component to forest recovery, and in many cases directly contributed to the pr

22、esence of mercury (汞) within neighbouring forests and rivers. Active mining sites have on average 250 times more mercury concentrations than abandoned sites.Not only does this have serious consequences for our battle against global warming by limiting Amazonian forests ability to capture and store c

23、arbon, but there is also a larger implication of polluting food sources especially for local communities who rely on rivers. Active management and enforcement of laws is clearly needed to ensure recovery and to safeguard communities. However, the current economic crisis is significantly increasing t

24、he demand for gold, given its role as an economic stabiliser. With current gold price estimated to rise in the coming months, many miners are already rapidly responding to this increase in pricing. And the weakening of environmental laws and policies is also leading to further deforestation. The stu

25、dy analyzed soil samples to determine recovery and chemical changes caused by mining. Their results suggest that forest recovery is strongly limited by severe mining-induced depletion (损耗) of soil nutrients, especially nitrogen, rather than by mercury contamination. The high rate of mercury, however

26、, does have serious implications for negative impacts on food security, water supply and local biodiversity. Mr Gavin Agard, Commissioner of the Guyana Forestry Commission (GFC)said: “This scientific work will greatly improve Guyanas baseline and understanding of the forest degradation impacts of mi

27、ning. The findings and recommendations from this study will significantly impact policy and management strategies for forest restoration and rehabilitation in mined-out areas.”8What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 4 refer to?AThe mining process.
