5.000 and 1 : 2.000, provided by O.C.O.T.A. and after
revising the aerospace maps.
It should be noted that, compared to the plot division
used starting with 1991 (applying Law 18) there were
some cases of total inconsistency with the recent
satellite images, which led us to not placing of certain
curtains, although the reality in the field would have
requested it.
Based on existing soil maps in this study were adapted
three groups of measures (GM) to install curtains,
overlapping three types of soil: chestnut steppe soil,
typical chernozem, cambic chernozem (or argillic
chernozem).
The species used for the afforestation of the three
types of soil are: 60 Sc, 20 Vi.t, 20 Pd on chernozem,
60 Gl, 20 Ul.t, 20 Sl on chestnut steppe soil, 60 St.
br, 20 Pr, 20 Mc on cambic chernozem (or argillic
chernozem).
For deep chernozem the black locust is preferred
because, even is exploited according to the forestry
regime or cut out of low, it has a high capacity to
regenerate so the role of the curtain is fulfilled even
the first years after exploitation.
The honey locust (glad) and the Turkestan elm are
proposed for afforestation of soils where the substrate
consists of chestnut steppe soil with a high content
of calcium carbonate present even in the A horizon.
The plantations on lands with soils of cambic
chernozem or argillic chernozem, situated in the
grasslands and the transition to forest zone will have
as main species the grayish oak or the downy oak
together with secondary mixed stand species (Pr, Te.a,
Ar.t) and shrubs (Mc).
The planting scheme shall be 2 x 1 m with stem
cutting-back of seedlings after planting.
The beating up (filling the gaps) are expected to be of
about 20 % in the first year and of 10 % in the second
year, and maintenance will consist of soil mobilization
for 3 years for the black locust / honey locust curtains
and of a minimum of 5 years for the oak ones.
There were planned 2-3 weedings and 3 defoliators’
control treatments.
4. Implementation of protection forest
belt for which the documentation was
developed during 2005 - 2006
In the case of both the forest belts for the protection of
communication ways and the ones for the protection
of fields, in order to relieve the planting effort the
planting machines can be used as a measure balance
the lack of labor force.
The required seedlings can be produced locally, in the
existing nurseries of the RNP-Romsilva forest districts
but also by increasing the production capacity of the
private nurseries that already exist.
For the afforestation of areas for forest belt settlement
and other compact areas in the region, in addition to
the I.C.A.S. existing staff, the central authority in
charged with forestry has certified individuals and
companies to develop technical documentation
(SF,PE, etc).
For the execution of the works of land and soil
preparation, planting, maintenance, pest control there
are operators licensed by the ministry.
Both in the present and in the future for a lot of the
areas dedicated to the afforestation with protection
belts, irrigation may be applicable.
We consider there is now a chance that the National
Program of Afforestation with Protective Forest Belts
might be put into practice.
At the time of this communication none of the
seedlings planned in the 2005-2006 documentation
was planted. The main cause of this failure as follows:
the failure to identify and contact all owners or heirs
for obtaining agreement to plant the forest belts.
Together with the municipalities were drawn lists of
1744 owners of the land designated for forest belts for
the protection of communication ways and lists of
24800 owners for the field protection forest belts.
With significant demographic changes experienced by
the population of Romania in recent years (about 3.0
million Romanians working or living abroad) the
project of afforestation was blocked at this phase.
In all the years since the project was initiated many
interventions to local and central authorities, to
legislative bodies (Romanian parliament), academy
(A.S.A.S.) or to various interested non-governmental
organizations (Progresul Silvic) were made, with
suggestions of ways to overcome this blockage.
At present, the hope that the National Program of
Afforestation with Protective Forest Belts will take
effect is renewed. This expectation is related to the
fact that on December 31st, 2011 parliament has
28
