“…Traditional revegetation techniques are unsuccessful on quartz surfaces because of the resistance of quartz to weathering, and the surrounding areas thus become strongly eroded. Our research group has carried out studies aimed at evaluating the induction of epilithic photoautotrophic biofilms on quartz surfaces as an alternative remediation technique [11][12][13]. Successful results, in terms of biofilm development and reduction on the visual impact, were obtained in laboratory tests with quartz samples.…”
