Teodor MARUŞCA1, Vasile Adrian BLAJ2

 

Abstract. The grasslands from Natural Parc of Bucegi are in very high antropic degradation representing 90-95% from the surface. Studies carried out by satellits in three cadastral map sheets representing a surface of 27,200 ha and evidenced a grassland surface of 7,300 ha (27%). Hase been evidenced a surface of 1,100 (14,5%) covered with wooden vegetation, over 60-80%, or are situated on the stones. The rest of 6,300 ha (about 85% from the total), the soil erosiune there is on 15%, rocks at surface – 13%, shrubs – 12%, weeds of pacage – 4%, resulting in finally over 52% of degradated grasslands due to the soil condition, invasion of shrubs and weeds. If it is adding the vegetal cover degradated by Nardus stricta which inseated the other types more valuable of grassland, it is remarking that only 5-10% from the grassland surfaces in managed adequately, that is a big problem.
