The document discusses the ecological restoration of limestone quarry sites in the Mussoorie hills of India. It provides background on the large-scale quarrying that degraded the ecology. After quarrying ceased in the 1980s, various agencies initiated restoration efforts including planting pioneer species. The study assessed the floristic composition of one restored site, Chunakhala mine. Plant community analysis showed trees were dominated by Cupressus torulosa and shrubs by Lepidagathis cuspidate. Herbs were dominated by Imperata cylindrical and Bidens biternata. Diversity and richness were highest in the shrub layer. The study evaluated the success of restoration at the site.
