This study investigated the geotechnical properties of tin mine tailings for its potential use, using particle size analysis, oedometer consolidation test, quick undrained triaxial test, compaction test and permeability test. The results showed that tailings from Caha1 and Kantoma1 have higher percentage of coarse than fine grains, lower moisture and optimum moisture content and higher coefficient of permeability. The most well graded materials of the mine tailings is CahaC. KantomaC and CahaC showed higher percentage of fines, high plastic, liquid and shrinkage limit, high plasticity index, high moisture content and optimum moisture content, higher shear strength, and lower coefficient of permeability. However, compression and swelling index of all the tailings are of low plastic clay and have very low swelling potential. Based on degree of plasticity, all the mine tailings in the study area are below the range of 1-5 hence, they are non-plastic material.

In natural habitats, plants that encounter adverse growth conditions are preserved in natural reserves where rare or endangered species, such the rare plant species “Drimia maritima” are protected. However, abiotic stress, generated by air pollution near Bentael natural reserve Lebanon, where ‘Drimia maritima” is widespread, is suspected to induce alteration in the biochemical status of the plant. The antioxidant potential was determined by measuring the activities variations of five different enzymes related to stress: Catalase (CAT), Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), Ascorbate peroxidase (APX), Guaiacol peroxidase (POX), and Glutathione reductase (GR). The study was conducted in Bentael natural reserve that was exposed to road works on its borders, within three various locations: location 1 directly localized on the road (P1), location 2, opposite to P1 (P2) and a control location in the middle of the reserve (Ctrl). All enzymes showed higher activities in P1 than in the other sites with proportional correlations for all the studied sites. The resulting outcome demonstrate that alteration in enzymes activities are significant element in plant responses to environmental derivatives abiotic stresses which appraise the danger of landscape activities on conserved areas’ wild floral species.
