Kiesflächen

Kiesflächen are areas of land that are loaded with gravel, often in a way that is described as artificial in character. These sites are frequently used for the storage or disposal of processed gravel, sand, or stones. Depending on the context and location, the introduction or creation of Kiesflächen can be carried out using both intentional and unintentional human activities.

The purpose of Kiesflächen varies, ranging from the extraction of raw materials for construction and development projects to environmental concerns. Soil or stone extracted from these sites can be diverted to other areas for construction materials, or applied to help stabilize land forms and prevent erosion.

It's worth noting that changes in topography implemented by humans might have emergence as a singular transformation on intact landscape systems. This aspect is crucial when evaluating intentional processes of generating such sites.

Kiesflächen are often reviewed during the process of formulating rules guiding land use, which includes examining non-natural modifications and the forecast of changes. The consequences or resulting impacts stand as a focal point during this process.

Without exception, the impact on regional geology is apparent. This transformation results in less congruent environments outside areas surrounding the modified landscape.
