Abstract:In order to understand the influence of Shengli Coal Mine in Xilinguole Grassland Inner Mongolia on vegetation coverage,aboveground biomass,soil moisture and groundwater level of surrounding grassland during mining,field positioning monitoring was used to investigate and measure the changes of vegetation coverage,aboveground biomass,soil moisture and groundwater level.The results showed that the vegetation coverage increases with the distance from the open pit and dumping site,and the influence of coal mining on vegetation coverage was within 4.0 km.The plant biomass also increases.The biomass of the affected grassland around the coal mine decreases by 13%~36% compared with that of the control area (not affected by the coal mine).There is no significant difference in the influence of coal mining on the soil water content in the horizontal direction of surrounding grassland,and the change of soil water content is mainly reflected in the vertical direction.Influenced by the drainage and drainage of drainage water from coal mining,the groundwater level around the mining area shows a downward trend throughout the year.
