The study examines forest stands within Production Unit I Vlădila, managed by the Caracal Forest District (Olt Forestry Directorate), focusing on the influence of ecological factors on the dominant species — black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) and Hungarian oak (Quercus pedunculiflora). Using forest management data and field observations, climatic, edaphic, and site conditions were assessed. Results indicate a predominance of oak and black locust stands developed on cambic phaeozem and psamosol soils, characterized by medium productivity and generally satisfactory health. The study highlights the need for appropriate silvicultural measures to support natural regeneration, maintain productivity, and ensure the ecological stability of forests in the Oltenia Plain.

Forests, land for afforestation, land serving the needs of cultivation, production, etc., constituted in P.U. III Prunisor, within the O.S. Simian, D.S. Mehedinti, are national forestry fund public property of the State. They are in the municipalities of Tamna, Prunisor, Husnicioara and Malovat in Mehedinti County. Geographically speaking, the forests within the Prunisor P.U. III are located at the interface between the northern part of the Balacitei Piedmont and the southern part of the Cosustei Hills of the Motrului Piedmont.

The paper presents research conducted on the ecological reconstruction of degraded lands within the Ostrovul Moldova Veche rehabilitation perimeter, located on the Danube River, downstream from the locality of Moldova Veche, Caraș-Severin County. The island, covering an area of approximately 345 hectares, is part of the Iron Gates Natural Park — a protected area classified as Category V by the IUCN — and holds significant ecological, landscape, and cultural value. The study is based on a complex analysis of geomorphological, geological, hydrological, and climatic conditions, highlighting the impact of degradation processes such as deflation, waterlogging, and bank erosion on ecosystem productivity and soil stability.The research findings indicate that the island’s lands, significantly affected by multiple forms of degradation, require ecological reconstruction interventions based on forestry technologies adapted to local conditions. In this context, the use of native forest species, particularly Salix alba, is proposed to restore the hydrological balance and stabilize the sandy and rocky soils. The reconstruction project aligns with the general objectives of the Iron Gates Natural Park, focusing on landscape conservation, biodiversity protection, and sustainable development through environmentally compatible traditional activities.The study provides a solid scientific foundation for developing management plans and technical rehabilitation measures, contributing to the conservation of natural heritage and the restoration of ecological functions within the wetland ecosystems of Ostrovul Moldova Veche.

Forests, land for afforestation, all those serving the needs of cultivation, protection and production, constituted in Production Unit VII Corbu, within Forest County Orsova, D.S. Mehedinti, are national forestry fund public property of the State. They are in the commune of Eselnisa in Mehedinsi County. Geographically speaking, the forests of the Production Unit VII Corbu are located upstream from the town of Orsova, on the left bank of the Danube River, on the ridge, in the region of the Almajului Mountains (Svinecei Ridge).

The torrential rains that fell in the forest basins starting with 2017 produced torrential floods that affected the objectives under execution, causing significant damages. Significant portions of forest roads and torrent correction works were destroyed, and in many areas the traffic became impossible. The most important degradations that occurred are: breaking the road platform over significant lengths; degradation and, in some places, washing out the road superstructure; clogging of footbridges; degradation and/or destruction of defence/consolidation works (retaining walls, piers, gabions and others); undermining of art works; degradation and destruction of bridges and footbridges; broken art works; destabilization of slopes and landslides. The destructive nature of torrential manifestations and the extent of the degradation produced, make timely and necessary interventions with torrential correction works in the torrential basins within the Teregova Forest District [7, 8]. The particularly high intensity of precipitation in recent years has produced floods that have led to the amplification of the degradation of the hydrographical network and adjacent lands, through deep erosion, surface erosion, landslides, collapses and bank collapses.

The rehabilitation project of the Magura amelioration perimeter is founded on a comprehensive approach that integrates the geomorphological, climatic, and geological characteristics of the area, along with the urgent need for ecological restoration measures. A detailed environmental assessment has revealed that the lands within the Magura perimeter are at significant risk of erosion and degradation, primarily due to climatic conditions and the geological particularities of the region. The geographical and administrative positioning of the perimeter highlights the strategic importance of the area within both administrative and ecological contexts, particularly given its proximity to protected zones and the necessity for sustainable land management. Moreover, climatic and geomorphological factors are critical drivers necessitating immediate intervention to prevent soil loss and to safeguard local biodiversity. The proposed technical solutions, including afforestation works and the implementation of an ameliorative complex, are essential for restoring the ecological balance of the region. Land mapping and monitoring measures will enable the effective and long-term implementation of restoration works, contributing to sustainable natural regeneration. The necessity of the investment is strongly supported by a cost–benefit analysis, which demonstrates that land rehabilitation efforts will yield multiple advantages—both economic (through improved soil productivity) and ecological (by stabilising ecosystems and preserving biodiversity). In addition, the proposed technical measures are aligned with environmental regulations and will contribute to achieving the European Union’s sustainability objectives. Therefore, the rehabilitation of the Magura perimeter represents a vital investment in environmental protection and the assurance of a sustainable ecological future, delivering substantial benefits to local communities and the wider region.
