The aim of the study is to show the effects of
the legume Pueraria Phasoeloides on the biological
parameters of the waste rock soils (saprolites) at the
Agbaou gold mine, in the center-west of Côte d’Ivoire.
Methodology and results: Macroinvertebrates were
harvested from the monolytes using the systematic
sampling method. The use of the legume Pueraria
Phasoeloides helped to solve the problems of agricultural
land in the area. The inventories carried out in the sterile
park 1 of the Agbaou gold mine allowed to discriminate
over the three years a total of 1981 specimens from the
overall population. We counted 540 individuals (27.25%)
on Ramp 1; 743 (37.50%) on Ramp 4, 448 (22.61%) on
Ramp 6, and 250 on Ramp 8 (12.61%). Ramps 1 and 6
are the most diversified stations with 540 and 448 taxa
respectively, followed by Ramps 4 (743 taxa) and 8 (250
taxa), which are poorly diversified. Shannon's diversity
index is less than 3 on the four ramps in this zone (sterile
park 1 in Agbaou), thus reflecting a lower biological
diversity in these environments. Although mining
activity is a threat to the various spheres of the
environment, the rehabilitation of the waste rock piles by
the Pueraria Phasoeloides is a form of compensation for
the damage caused by the adverse effects of mining. It
appears as an ecosystem that locally increases biological
diversity and requires urgent implementation actions
