Abstract:

This paper brings a contribution of 259 species from the inferior basin of Trotus River and reports the restoration of a habitat with steppe-like vegetation. The overall number of species amounts to 862 species belonging to 416 genera and 95 families. Out of the steppe elements identified in the period 1970-1972 in Dochia Meadow, many species are currently missingas a result of human activities in the area. On the slopes facing the other side of the Trotus River near Adjud, in areas where vine culture was widespread before 1990, a rich habitat of Stipa capillata and Centaurea orientalis has been restored. The floristic list comprises a large number of weeds, of which some are invasive and indicating the use of land for agricultural purposes. Steppe species are infrequent, but indicative of the migration corridor along the lower valleys of large rivers. There is a small number of rare and protected species. Although this area is circumscribed to the perimeter of an avifaunal reserve, any future monitoring and restoration activities for small patches of vegetation that are worth protecting are welcome.
