Abstract:

The CeahlĂŁu Mountain belongs to the Moldavian Oriental Carpatians and, according to its morphology, petrography, structure and genesis, pertains to the flysch mountain category [14]. It is a complex of peaks derived from a main higher summit, which displays a north-south orientation. The dominant main summit consists in a plateau with two levels; it is approximately 10 Km long and less than 1 to 3 km wide. The main summit has an irregular surface, and it is boarded by steep slopes that can often exceed 150 m [2].

The class Elyno-Seslerietea is represented in the study area by 3 associations (5) of the alliance Festuco saxatilis-Seslerion bielzii Coldea 1984, order Seslerietea albicantis Br.-Bl. et Jenny 1962: Ass. Diantho tenuifolii-Festucetum amethystinae Coldea 1984, Ass. Seslerio bielzii-Caricetum sempervirentis PuÂșcaru et al. 1956, and Ass. Seslerio-Festucetum versicolor Beldie 1967 [11].
