Abstract

Limestone mining, while pivotal to industrialization and infrastructure expansion, often begets a paradoxical coexistence of economic promise and socio-environmental adversity—particularly in ecologically sensitive and socially fragile landscapes. This study interrogates the multifaceted implications of limestone extraction on the local communities of Khumnoh, situated within the tectonically active and resource-rich belt of South Kashmir. Despite burgeoning industrial interest in the region, scholarly inquiry into the sociological and economic reverberations of mineral extraction remains conspicuously limited. This research endeavors to bridge this epistemic lacuna by conducting an in-depth, community-centric investigation into the socioeconomic ramifications of limestone mining in the aforementioned locale. Employing a robust mixed-methods framework, the study integrates quantitative data from 100 structured household surveys with qualitative insights derived from 10 semi-structured interviews involving diverse community stakeholders—including miners, traders, educators, healthcare workers, and governance representatives. Stratified random sampling ensured representational integrity, while thematic analysis of narrative accounts augmented the statistical findings, thereby affording a comprehensive evaluative lens. The analysis focused on key dimensions such as livelihood diversification, income generation, public health, environmental degradation, gendered access to mining benefits, and infrastructural evolution. The findings reveal an ambivalent reality: while a notable segment of the population has experienced marginal economic uplift through mining-related employment and trade linkages, the majority remains either unengaged or inadequately compensated. Dust proliferation, water resource vulnerability, and respiratory ailments were recurrent environmental grievances, compounded by a palpable deficit in corporate transparency and public participation in decision-making processes. Furthermore, infrastructure benefits were largely confined to transport routes, with limited investment in healthcare, education, or gender-inclusive development. The study concludes that while limestone mining in Khumnoh does contribute to regional economic circuits, it does so in a manner that is neither equitably inclusive nor environmentally sustainable. Absent proactive regulatory oversight and participatory governance, the current trajectory of extractive expansion portends long-term socioecological dislocation. It is thus imperative to recalibrate mining operations through community engagement mechanisms, environmental safeguards, and targeted corporate social responsibility (CSR) interventions. The study not only elucidates the nuanced interplay between resource extraction and human development in peripheral regions but also offers a replicable analytical paradigm for evaluating the social license to operate in similar geoeconomic contexts.

Abstract

This study employs an integrated geospatial and geophysical framework to assess the mineral prospectivity of the Borgu Area, Niger State, northwestern Nigeria, with particular emphasis on rare-metal pegmatites (lithium, beryl, and tourmaline) and orogenic gold systems. The study area is situated within the Nigerian Basement Complex of the Pan-African Mobile Belt and is predominantly underlain by granitic gneiss. Interpretation of aeromagnetic datasets reveals a well-defined NE–SW structural fabric characterized by faults, fractures, and lithological boundaries, which are interpreted as key controls on fluid migration and mineral emplacement. The Total Magnetic Intensity response is dominated by low-amplitude anomalies, indicative of magnetite-depleted felsic lithologies typically associated with Lithium–Cesium–Tantalum (LCT) pegmatite systems. Source Parameter Imaging further constrains the depth to magnetic sources to approximately 120–180 m, suggesting relatively shallow subsurface conditions favorable for exploration.Radiometric analysis delineates zones enriched in potassium and thorium, reflecting highly evolved granitic systems with potential for rare-metal mineralization. Complementary remote sensing analysis based on Landsat imagery identifies diagnostic hydrothermal alteration signatures, including iron oxide staining, clay mineral development, and silica enrichment. The integration of geophysical, radiometric, and spectral datasets within a GIS-based analytical framework enabled the systematic delineation of ten high-priority exploration targets. The combined results highlight the strong influence of lithological composition, structural architecture, and hydrothermal processes on mineralization within the Borgu basement terrain. These findings underscore the exploration potential of the area and provide a robust basis for subsequent field validation, including detailed geological mapping, geochemical surveys, and targeted ground geophysical investigations.

Abstract

Forest ecosystems are increasingly recognized as essential components in strengthening climate resilience and addressing the growing challenges posed by global climate change. Effective forest management not only supports ecological stability but also contributes significantly to climate change mitigation and adaptation efforts. With the rising intensity and frequency of extreme climatic events, traditional forest management approaches require transformation toward more adaptive, science-based, and forward-looking strategies. This study emphasizes the integration of adaptation and mitigation measures within the framework of Sustainable Forest Management (SFM) to enhance ecosystem stability and long-term resilience. Anticipating how forest species and ecological processes respond to variations in temperature, precipitation patterns, and climatic extremes is fundamental for informed decision-making. The use of advanced monitoring technologies, predictive modeling, and early-warning systems enables managers to detect ecological shifts, including species redistribution, altered growth dynamics, and increased vulnerability to disturbances. Adaptation strategies involve modifying silvicultural practices, adjusting harvesting regimes, promoting climate-tolerant species, and improving overall forest productivity and regeneration capacity. Simultaneously, mitigation measures focus on strengthening carbon sequestration through afforestation, reforestation, improved forest conservation, and sustainable utilization of forest resources. The combined implementation of adaptation and mitigation strategies enhances forests’ capacity to function as resilient ecosystems while contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Given the critical role forests play in regulating the global carbon cycle, integrating carbon management into routine forestry practices is essential for achieving international climate objectives. A comprehensive and balanced management approach that incorporates ecological sustainability, economic viability, and social well-being is therefore necessary to ensure that forests continue to deliver ecosystem services and maintain their resilience under future climate uncertainties.
