Abstract. In Transilvania Plateau, Brașov Depression and Bârsa Mountains on the basic lithogenic soil are grasslands with, very high pastoral value dominated by Festuca rupicola, Poa pratensis, Cynosurus cristatus, Agrostis capillaris, Festuca rubra, Trifolium repens and other forage species. By overpaddocking during the 6-8 nights, 1 sheep/1 sqm, these grasslands are invaded by nitrophile weeds such as Rumex obtusifolius between 300-1,200 m altitude, Rumex alpinus over 1,200 m to 1,600-1,800 m altitude and Urtica dioica in the all zones. In the soil the fertilizer nutrients are accumulated excessively potassium and nitrogen. In function of the overpaddocking intensity, the noxious effect during the 4 (6 ) – 8 (12) years. In this period the soil is invaded by weeds, being out economic cycle..
