RomânăThe event took place on the 21st of February 2014, at the project’s headquarters (13, Closca st.), in Brasov.
The purpose of this meeting was to establish the accuracy of the habitat 91I0- Eurosiberian silvo-steppe with Querqus sp., as it has posed some concerns to the experts of the project. Consequently, the special guest, Biris Iovu, habitat expert at the Institute of Forest Management and Research Bucharest (ICAS Bucharest) and the entire technical staff of the project, have discussed with a view to make a decision on the location of the support of the regeneration of the silvo-steppe with Querqus spp. vegetation.
All the characteristics of the location were taken into consideration: the ecological and pedological requirements, the presence of glades, the flora characteristics, the composition of stands, the normal sequence. By observing these characteristics, it was concluded that the habitat resembles the steppic characters, with some extra-sesonalities (Biris). Steppic lawns, which are suitable from both floristic and stand composition point of view, could be delimited.
After the theoretical discussions at the headquarters, the specialists of the project and their guests, have undertaken a field visit, in order to identify the habitat. Thus, in administrative unit (a.u.) 2E, the presence of the 91I0 habitat was confirmed, but on restricted areas. In the vecinity of a.u. 2E, a better quality of this habitat was detected. It was therefore decided that the support of natural regeneration to be extended in other plots (2D, 14A), by maintaining the surface of 3,4 ha. Moreover, the fir tree introducted in 1N, 1K, 1F can be harvested (it has reached the harvest age), and the oak can extend in these three parcels, where the ecological conditions necessary to 91I0 habitat are met. The three parcels belong to the private forests for which the forest managent plan will be revised only in 2015. In the next period, the negociations with private owners will begin for the extention of habitat 91I0.
