FORESTRY BELTS SILVICULTURE AND CINEGETICS REVIEW XVII/30/2012<br />

- Level at the lower threshold of the optimum<br />

magnesium interval (below PT: 2500 ppm): 1090<br />

ppm;<br />

- Average nitrogen pollution (as PT: 17000 ppm):<br />

16240 ppm;<br />

- High calcium pollution (PT: 8000 ppm): 11972 ppm.<br />

Photo 7. Spruce (between houses -- str. Baciului nr. 8, Stupini<br />

– Braşov) where needles were collected for foliar analysis<br />

In March 2010, foliar analyzes conducted at the<br />

spruce trees located near the northern ground wave<br />

(Photo 7) (nearby Stupini belt - Brasov), indicates the<br />

following levels of substances (Table 2):<br />

- Sodium below the threshold of toxicity (PT 200<br />

ppm): 136 ppm;<br />

- Zinc below the threshold of toxicity (PT 60 ppm):<br />

42.9 ppm;<br />

- Copper (pollution) little above the toxicity threshold<br />

(PT 10 ppm): 10.7 ppm;<br />

- Iron below toxicity threshold (PT 300 ppm): 232.8<br />

ppm;<br />

- Magnesium at the lower limit of the optimum level<br />

(optimum level: 1000-2500 ppm): 1034 ppm;<br />

- Very large excess of calcium (8000 ppm PT): 14,470<br />

ppm.<br />

6. Vegetation in the area<br />

6.1. The reserve Castle Hill-Lempes (Photo 8)<br />

The vegetation includes various xerophyte<br />

associations, steppe (the southern slopes on limestone<br />

bedrock), formed in postglaciar, <strong>and</strong> nemoral<br />

associations - different species forests (sessile oak,<br />

field maple, lime, hornbeam, field maple, beech, fir,<br />

hornbeam, plantations of black pine, with<br />

undergrowth of flowering ash, hawthorn, spindle-tree<br />

, warty spindle-tree, red dogwood, cornel tree, privet,<br />

walnut, ash, blackthorn, dwarf almond, etc.). Of the<br />

shrub vegetation it is noted the rare dwarf almond<br />

species (Mygdalus nana) <strong>and</strong> wild dwarf cherry<br />

(ground cherry, Cerasus / Prunus fruticosa).<br />
