o:533 Degraded areas recultivation on location of open pit Zagrađe 5 en Abstract: In order to protect the environment and improve the landscape, the degraded areas created by the exploitation of limestone at the open pit Zagrade 5, will be recultivated. The goal of recultivation is to "return" in some form, through the projected activities, what was previously borrowed from nature through exploitation. Recultivation will take place according to the following phases of recultivation: technical, agrotechnical, and biological phase. In this way, i.e. by applying biological recultivation, seedlings of black ash, hornbeam and lilac are planned. The alternating combination of these plant species enables the binding of the substrate and gives a beautiful aesthetic appearance to the environment.
