Abstract

Romania is characterised by great floristic diversity and there are many distinctive aspects to the distribution of vegetation units. However, even the sparsely-populated mountainous country has been affected by anthropic activity, increasing in intensity through the expansion of agriculture during the nineteenth century and the recent emphasis on industrial development. It is therefore essential that the diverse plant cover should be given the protection of national park or nature reserve status. The present designations are substantial, though not yet adequate, and careful monitoring is needed to establish the extent or further provision.
