BIODIVERSITY OF THE DANUBE DELTA

Abstract

The topic was chosen out of a desire to explore the impressive biodiversity of the Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve. A considerable amount of time was allocated for the preparation of the paper, in order to try to produce a study that would contain as concrete and complex information as possible. To this end, three trips to the Danube Delta were made in previous years, and the research area was located in the south-east of the Danube Delta (Sfântu Gheorghe arm). The paper describes the physical-geographical framework of the area, presents informations on the history of research in the field of biodiversity of species and ecosystems in the research area, details the material and the working method, the results, the discussions and the conclusions of the study.
