Revegetation in abandoned quarries with landfill stabilized waste and gravels: water dynamics and plant
Abstract. Large amounts of quarry wastes are produced during quarrying. Though quarry wastes are commonly used in pavement construction and concrete production, in situ utilization during ecological restoration of abandoned quarries has the advantage of simplicity.
