a temporary decrease in plant populations
An intended benefit of mining is to make a profit,while an uninted consquence is destroying animal and plant habitat and life.
The benthic zone
Other than a very large hole in the ground... Mining requires stripping the area surrounding the pit of soil and plant life, which can result in a destabilization of the surrounding soil with heavy rain. This can result in mudslides and/or landslides. Longer-term, mining can expose harmful materials - such as heavy metals - to the surrounding areas via water-leeching. This can slowly poison both the plant and animal life, as well as the surrounding human population if not carefully controlled.
probably death or illlness
the theme of this story is "life"
It would decrease the amount of plant and animal life in the area.
abiogenesis is a concept that plant and animal life can rise from nonliving matter

No one knows what was the first plant to evolve from single celled life forms, so the first one likely does not have a name.
jail....... and messing with your life or someone eles.
You cannot produce plant life without other plant life. That can include a seed or a cutting from another plant.
To obtain materials that are needed for modern life. The computer you are using to read this contains 34 different materials that were obtained from mining. Remember- if it was not grown from a plant, someone mined it.
