BIOLOGY OF SOME SPONTANEOUS PLANT SPECIES OF ECONOMIC IMPORTANCE WITHIN BĂILEȘTI AND SURROUNDING AREA, OLTENIA, ROMANIA

Rezumat

The present scientific paper represents the result of research and documentation efforts aimed at highlighting the value of the multifarious plant resources within the lowland region of Oltenia. The topic was not accidentally chosen, rather it addresses a genuine need to understand and sustainably use spontaneous biodiversity, on the background of marked climate changes, amplified agricultural activities, and increasingly apparent human pressure on the environment. The integrated analysis follows both the biological characteristics of the studied species, as well as the way they interact with environmental factors and human activities. Approaching the biology of these plants requires a complex ecological and economic examination, which, in turn, allows for a deeper understanding of the potential of plant resources and establishes the rationale for their conservation
