The types of forest ecosystems of ”Dobrușa” protected area

Abstract

The physico‐geographical position of the territory within the boundaries of the Prut river and the Dniester River basins, situated longitudinally between the Galicia (Eastern Europe) mountains and the Black Sea, includes three types of natural macroecological systems or natural ecobiomes (Central European deciduoas forest, Euromediteranian silvosteppe, and Eurasian Steppe) with tangential‐partial interference. This fact determines the specificity of the territory in question through the wide diversity of both vegetation types and types of forest resorts. The adjacent eastern, western and northern territories, according to the ecosystem‐based forest diversity, differ essentially from the terrestrial space of the Dniester‐Prut interfluvium, whose forest ecosystems haven’t been studied and known at the level appropriate for safe use, both in fundamental works related to forestry typology and in practical works related to the establishment of sustainable management measures.
