Habitat fragmentation is a major problem across the Earth. A decrease in the overall area of wild places is bad enough. But combined with fragmentation, it can undermine the integrity of whole ecosystems. Roads, urbanisation and agriculture are some of the main activities that break up natural areas. This often has disastrous impacts on wildlife.

Iron deficient soil can lead to small iron concentrations in plants and in humans who consume them ( Combs, 2005 ). This is especially problematic in arid soils and in populations whose diets rely on a large intake of cereal grains, but have few meat products ( Deckers Steinnes, 2004 ).

Oct 05, 2017This paper examines the water quality legacies of historic and current iron mining in the Mesabi Range, the most productive iron range in the history of North America, producing more than 42% of the world's iron ore in the 1950s. Between 1893 and 2016, 3.5 109 t of iron ore were shipped from the Mesabi Range to steel plants throughout the world.

Iron ore is the source of primary iron for the world's iron and steel industries. It is therefore essential for the production of steel, which in turn is essential to maintain a strong industrial base. Almost all (98%) iron ore is used in steelmaking. Iron ore is mined in about 50 countries. The seven largest of these producing countries
