Contributions to the study of the alien and invasive species in some protected areas in Mures County, Romani
2018
This study was conducted to increase the understanding of the impact of the
invasive plants on a local level. The paper specifically details Natura 2000 sites
ROSCI0019 and ROSCI0227 that overlap some natural reserves in Mures County. The
study presents the inventory and chorology of alien and invasive species indentified in
some of these protected areas in Mures County. The diversity of habitat types present in
the studied area enables the presence of invasive species with varying ecological
requirements. The presence of these species is particularly noticeable near human
settlements and heavily ruderalized sites, as a consequence of abandoning agricultural
land. In addition to these areas certain invasive species have been identified in various
habitat types, especially grasslands and wetlands near watercourses. Some of the alien
species met with high frequency and they often form dense vegetation groups. Among
these we mention Echinocystis lobata, Erigeron annuus subsp. annuus, Impatiens
glandulifera, Reynoutria japonica, Rudbeckia laciniata, Solidago canadensis, etc. The
study highlights the origin of these species and the impact they have on the state of
conservation of natural habitats. In addition, the most aggressive invasive species and
habitat types affected by their spread are noted
