Bending et al. offered an overview of the possibility of using various materials for the rehabilitation of quarries. Sort and Alcañiz had studied the effects of …
uted to the rising number of quarries, most of which are exploited without any rehabilitation plan (Yahya et al. 2017; Buondonno et al. 2018). As a consequence, several negative socio-economic impacts of abandoned quarries have been reported to include but not limited to landscape denatura-tion of the area, destruction of topography and morphol-
Two quarries abandoned around 15-23 years ago - one revegetated, the other with natural regeneration were compared in order to assess benefits of artificial revegetation vs …
Thus, good rehabilitation management performed by proposing redevelopment scenarios using three-dimensional modeling developed by specific software can be efficient to overcome the negative impacts of the quarries exploitation on the environment.

Kyriaki Kitikidou. The ability to establish cover using grass and legume species without any soil preparation was studied in a barren materials quarry. The biodiversity indexes (Simpson) during ...
The process of rehabilitation is normally a continuous one as the operation moves from one section of the quarry to another. Ongoing rehabilitation work is important to ensure a self-sustaining environment …
rehabilitate the vertical cliff faces that are produced in limestone quarry operations. 10. The benefits of allowing natural processes to rehabilitate the walls of abandoned limestone quarries are: the recruitment of an uncommon, but native component of biodiversity; a reduced initial cost; and a reduced long-term maintenance cost. 11.
The Google Earth (GE) shows the area at fine spatial resolution helpful clearly identified waste dumps surrounding the limestone quarries. Using Google Earth images identifies dumps in limestone quarry locations to better understand the effect of mines on vegetation, air, and groundwater disturbances (Jade and Sunitha 2015).

We follow an integrated approach in quarry rehabilitation and biodiversity management. We are committed to rehabilitating our quarries in a safe, environmentally and socially responsible manner, in order to: Reintegrate exhausted parts of the quarry into the natural landscape. Return the land to a beneficial post quarrying use, acceptable to ...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of high doses of municipal sludge on soil aggregation and to assess its value for soil erosion reduction, both under natural and in simulated rainfall conditions. Doses of 200 and 400 Mg ha−1 sewage sludge (dry weight) were applied to the soil of experimental plots situated on a 28 degree slope. …
The operation of a limestone quarry increases drainage and the physical and chemical erosion of the substrate, hindering natural …
For testing and calibration purposes, the procedure was applied to nine limestone quarries and conformity indexes were calculated for the rehabilitation programs in each quarry. Most quarries ...

Limestones have been worked for many thousands of years — initially for building stone and agricultural lime and more recently for a wide range of construction and industrial uses. In most industrialized countries limestone quarries represent the most visually obvious and, in both process and landform terms, the most dramatic …
The production of building materials in Tunisia has recently undergone a notable development thanks to several factors. Among these, we can mention the growth of property sector, the increase of the construction sites of public works (roads,
Abstract. A quarry is an area from which rocks such as marble, limestone, and granite are extracted for industrial use. Once depleted of their desired resources, quarries are frequently abandoned. The resulting gaping holes can fill with water and form dangerous quarry lakes while others are turned into unsightly landfills.
Bamburi's rehabilitation program has created a functional ecosystem over the years through wildlife integration in the rehabilitation of limestone quarries. Animals, many of them larger mammals, were introduced as orphans or rescued, while others were brought in to occupy specific niches in the ecosystem.
Restoration ecology is an emerging science dealing with applied ecology and aiming at helping nature to recreate itself . This comprehensive paper presents the findings and main results related to the analysis of natural vegetation dynamics on
The Rehabilitation of Quarries. The goal of reclamation or rehabilitation of quarrying lands is to transform the land into a useable habitat. Reclamation involves restoring a natural grade to the mining area and providing suitable topsoil for native vegetation to propagate, so the former quarry develops into a healthy ecosystem.
The main goal of quarry restoration is to convert degraded, unproductive areas into new, self-sustaining ecosystems that develop into highly natural environments. …
Aggregates are usually sand, gravel, clay, earth and bedrock. They are used to make roads, subway tunnels, homes and other structures. Loose material, such as sand and gravel, is removed from a pit; Solid bedrock, such as limestone and granite, is removed from a quarry; Read our aggregate resource studies to learn more about Ontario's aggregate …
The main goal of quarry restoration is to convert degraded, unproductive areas into new, self-sustaining ecosystems that develop into highly natural environments. With the aim to individuate the best practices for restoring limestone quarries, we investigated the short-term effects on vegetation features and economic advantages of …
