山顶采矿的生态研究一直集中在水生影响上，因为覆盖层（即，山顶）被弃置在附近的山谷，这导致了对河流水质的广泛影响。山顶采矿对陆地环境也有许多影响，这些影响在很大程度上被忽视了，尽管它们的范围不小，严重性和多方面性。我们通过探索六个广泛的主题来审查山顶采矿对陆地环境的影响：（1）地形复杂性的丧失，（2）森林损失和破碎化，（3）森林演替和土壤流失，（4）森林损失和碳固存，（5）生物多样性，（6）人类健康和福祉。
Ecological research on mountaintop mining has been focused on aquatic impacts because the overburden (i.e., the mountaintop) is disposed of in nearby valleys, which leads to a wide range of water-quality impacts on streams. There are also numerous impacts on the terrestrial environment from mountaintop mining that have been largely overlooked, even though they are no less wide ranging, severe, and multifaceted. We review the impacts of mountaintop mining on the terrestrial environment by exploring six broad themes: (1) the loss of topographic complexity, (2) forest loss and fragmentation, (3) forest succession and soil loss, (4) forest loss and carbon sequestration, (5) biodiversity, and (6) human health and well-being.
