Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve (D.D.B.R.): reed dynamics within actual context.
Journal Title: Advances in Environmental Sciences - International Journal of the Bioflux Society - Year 2010, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
The reed beds are widely considered in Europe as ecologically and conomically beneficial areas. In The Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve (D.D.B.R.), reed is by far the dominant species and reed marshes cover more than 220,000 ha (Hanganu et al 2002). Presently, certain areas of reed beds are selected for burning or harvesting during the winter by private companies. Other surfaces are harvested in green, mown by the inhabitants as cattle food. Comparing the present period with the harvest campaigns from the ‘60th until the ‘80th, we can say that the actual ressure on reed’s biodiversity is reduced. All above aspects of anagement practices and their influence on reed beds succession and conservation of biodiversity are discussed. Beside the current reed type description and comparison with biometrical data from Chifu et al (1993), we present their distribution, in relation with type of substrate and ydrology, by reed complexes.
