1 Analele ştiinţifice ale Universităţii Al. I. Cuza Iaşi Tomul LVI, fasc. 2, s.ii a. Biologie vegetală, 2010 CONTRIBUTION TO THE STUDY OF THE HERBACEOUS VEGETATION FROM THE SUHARD MOUNTAIN M. COSTICĂ *, N. ŞTEFAN, I. SÂRBU ** Abstract. The paper presents five herbaceous plant associations from the plant cover of the mountain Suhard. The five herbaceous plant associations are included in the following classes: Molinio Arrhenatheretea R. Tüxen 1937 and Nardo Callunetea Preising The diversity of herbaceous plant associations indicates the variety in the growing conditions of herbaceous vegetation on this massive. Key words: Plant associations, mountain Suhard, herbaceous vegetation Introduction The Suhard Massif is located in the North Central part of the Eastern Carpathians group. They are a Southeastern extension of the Rodna Mountains. The core range is composed of crystalline rocks. The climate is temperate continental [8]. The lowest monthly average temperature recorded in January and February, is from - 4 to 6 C. The warmest months are June to July and August, with monthly average temperatures of 14. The annual average precipitation has different values: from Vatra Dornei, where rainfall is 672 mm/annually takes place a progressive increase, reaching 1200 mm/annually on Faraoane Peak and Ouşorul Peak and even to 1400 mm/annually on Omu Peak. As mentioned in a previous paper [6] depending on the altitude and the physical and geographical features there were installed herbaceous and woody phytocenosis with moderately-low acidophilous species, mesophilic species, oligo-mesotrophic species and mesothermal species [3]. The herbaceous vegetation is rich and contains varied species. This vegetation is often used for grazing. Material and methods We follow the method of the phytocoenological-floristic school [1] for the study and classification of the vegetation. The species nomenclature has been taking from Ciocârlan 2000 [2]. Results and discussion Deforestation wood phytocoenoses for the extension of the pasture grass favored installing herbaceous cenoze. Overgrazing has altered the floristic composition. There are some situations when the phytocoenoses are monodominant with few accompanying species [4, 5, 7]. * Al. I.

Festuco rubrae - Agrostietum capillaris Horvat 1951 (Table I; relev.: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) It is a widespread association in the lower and middle mountain floor in the Romanian Carpathians. The association has developed on the deep, brown humic and rich in humus soil. The characteristic species of Agrostis capillaris and Festuca rubra are in codominant fragile relationships. It is the most representative and most widespread association in the beech floor. It represents a transition from the type Agrostis capillaries lower mountain region to the type Festuca rubra from the floor of the spruce. 2. Ass. Lolio Cynosuretum Br.-Bl. et De Leeuw 1936 (Table I; relev.: 6, 7, 8, 9, 10) The association has developed on mezobazic brown soil, rich in nutrients with weak acid reaction. The characteristic species Lolium perenne is accompanied by mesophilic species such as Trifolium repens, Lotus corniculatus, Achillea millefolium, Leucanthemum vulgare. The association is valuable and well exploited as pasture because the component species have superior qualities specific to the meadow. This association evolves in a sindynamic manner to Festuco rubrae- Agrostetum capillaris if it is increased the amount of nutrients in soil. If the meadow is overgrazing, it evolves into the association Lolio-Trifolietum repentis. NARDO CALLUNETEA Preising 1949 NARDETALIA Oberdorfer 1949 P o t e n t i l l o N a r d i o n Simon Ass. Scorzonero roseae Festucetum nigricantis (Puşcaru et al. 1956) Coldea 1987 (Table II; relev.: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) 70
3 The association grows on the meadows of the Southern and Western slopes, on acid brown soil with medium trophicity. The species Festuca rubra is accompanied by the species Scorzonera rosea (which is a distinctive and differential species). The floristic composition is heterogeneous, with small numbers of species, among which the form a uninterrupted celery. It is an association exclusively used for grazing. 4. Ass. Violo declinarae Nardetum Simon 1966 (Table II.; relev.: 6, 7, 8, 9) It is an association which vegetates on sunny slopes. It prefers acid, tamped, poorly ventilated soil, with low-nutrient minerals. Together with the characteristic species Nardus stricta, Viola decline, there are also the most common species: Campanula serrata, Carex pallescens, Luzula campestris. This association results from the degradation of grasslands with Festuca rubra and Agrostis capillaris. 5. Ass. Carici Nardetum strictae (Resmeriţă 1984) Resmeriţă et Pop 1986 (Table II; relev.: 10, 11) It is an association that inhabits small areas on slopes and plateaus. The characteristic species Nardus stricta, Carex flava are accompanied by the characteristic species for classes Nardo-Callunetea and Molinio-Arrhenatheretea. There are some remarkable species such as: Juncus articulatus, Eriophorum angustifolium, Dactylorhiza maculata and Parnasia palustris belonging to class Scheuchzerio-Caricetea fuscae. This association has a hydrotrophic, meso-hygrophil character, comprising acidophilous microthermal species. Conclusions The described plant associations form the second grassy meadows after deforestation of the spruce stands or mixed forests of fir and beech. These associations are characterized by a rich floral composition, with many accompanying species, with specific combinations such as Campanula serrata, Scorzonera rosea, Campanula abietina (for Scorzonero roseae-festucetum nigricantis) Viola declinata, Carex pallescens, Nardus stricta (for Violo declinatae-nardetum), Campanula patula, Polygala vulgaris, Centaurea phrygia, Rumex acetosa (for Festuco rubrae-agrostietum capillaris). Thus, it is found that the described herbaceous vegetation has a floristic composition of montane and subalpine species (although it cannot be described an alpine floor in this massif [3]).
