摘要：The subjects of this study were uncultivated mining waste heaps which are remnants of the territories abandoned after the exploration of iron ore.The aim of this analysis was the assessment of the influence of these objects on the soil located in the nearest surroundings, as well as estimation of the level of their degradation.It was ascertained that direct geomechanical degradation exists in the examined object, which is connected with soil profile destruction in consequence of transformation of hitherto existing geomorphological conditions, deformation of natural shape of territory, density of soil levels and deformation of the spatial layout.As a result of the examination, it was pointed out that chemical degradation as well as degradation of ecological structure occur on the analyzed territory.Progressing processes of water erosion on the side of waste heap are the consequence of improperly profiled, steep slopes causing the uncontrolled flow of rainwater, lack of flora and dense, micrograiny structure of soils which prevents the effective infiltration of water.Penetration of water into the ground causes the creation of channels which, in dry periods, can become additional pathways for the possible landslides.
