• W996857122 abstract "In Greece, from ancient times since today lots of areas have been used for mining and quarrying in order to produce minerals and building materials. The production of marble was frequent in ancient Greece, but today the most common practice is the production of cement. Despite the rigidity of European legislation concerning quarry restoration, there are cases that quarries are simply abandoned after use. The rate of natural succession is significantly low because a quarry ends up with quarry faces and platforms consisted of rock, after its excavation. Therefore it is important to apply restoration methods using artificial vegetation, such as hydro-seeding. It is common to use plant species which are not similar to the ones of the surrounding vegetation (introduced). The aim of restoration should be the rehabilitation of the original quality of the environment. In the unrestored ecosystem, normal biological processes are at a standstill. The ecosystem must be restored in order to become normally functional as long as it concerns the soil, the plants and the aesthetics. In the restored ecosystem the natural processes of nutrient release, plant growth and nutrient cycling go on at a normal rate.The study area includes the quarry faces and platforms (floors) of a limestone quarry above Arachovitica and Drepano Achaia, Greece. In order to restore this area, there has been an effort to cover it (by TITAN) using plant species like Cupressus sempervirens, Quercus ilex, Spartium junceum and Pinus halepensis. Besides them, non-native plant species have been planted such as Eucalyptus globulus, Cupressus arizonica and Robinia pseudoacacia. These plant species are alien, not only in Greece but in the entire Mediterranean region. So, their cultivation should be avoided in this particular area where the quarry is situated.The target of this research is the study of restoration, natural succession and plant diversity (at the quarry) using the plant sociological method Braun-Blanquet. Sample plots have been established at the faces and platforms of the quarry. Plant samples were collected from each plot, such as Sarcopoterium spinosum, Silene italica subsp. peloponnesiaca, Dittrichia viscosa, Centranthus ruber subsp. ruber and Bituminaria bituminosa. These plants are called “pioneer” plant species, because they are some of the first plants (in general) that colonise a disturbed area and play an important role in the establishment of other plants.The plant population of the quarry is also compared with the surrounding area which is consisted of natural “maqui” vegetation and it is characterised by the typical dominant plant species of this Mediterranean type of vegetation at a “climax” stage. These are Quercus coccifera, Q. ilex, Arbutus andrachne and Pistacia lentiscus. Additionally, there are several plant species like Pyrus amygdaliformis, Phlomis fruticosa, Myrtus communis, Cistus creticus, C. salviifolius and Fraxinus ornus. The surrounding environment serve as a reference ecosystem which means a model for planning and evaluating an ecological restoration project." @default.
