Restauración de impactos mineros en zonas semiáridas: el ejemplo de la provincia de Granada

Abstract

Quarries reclamation has been efective since 1982 because of environmental mining laws. Reclamation techniques have been developed quikly during these years. In Grenade province, quarry reclamation is especially dificult because of the climate. In semiarid areas revegetation techniques are more or less unuseful and erosive/desertitation processes are the main enviromental matter. In fact, geomorphological and topographical remodélation and dust preservation are the most useful reclamation techniques applied over these area
