CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING THE VASCULAR FLORA OF THE PROTECTED AREA PREAJBA-FACĂI LACUSTRINE COMPLEX, DOLJ, ROMANIA

Abstract

The objective of the present research was to identify all vascular species of aquatic and marsh plants within the protected area Preajba-Făcăi Lacustrine Complex (Code 2394, Law 5/2000). The area is located in the central-eastern part of Dolj county (Romania), northwards of Preajba settlement and less than 10 km far from the city of Craiova. The authors present a floristic inventory that brings together the aquatic and marsh species within the territory under study, the corresponding distribution in the area being mentioned for each of them. The presence of certain taxa of sociological importance in the flora of Romania (e.g. Cirsium creticum) is noted, while the presence of others in the spontaneous flora of Oltenia (e.g. Vallisneria spiralis) is reconfirmed. Moreover, the authors discuss the influence of the anthropic factor on this area, in conjunction with the effects of climate changes, which are increasingly visible.
