The Economic Importance of Plants that are Specific to a Mountain Pastures
Abstract
Assessing the economic importance of plants present on the mountain pastures, we can distinguish the potential vegetal resources in the context of improving their economic efficiency. In order to determine the vegetal potential in the mountainous region, the analysis of the economic categories in the structure of phytocoenoses was performed, to find some efficient ways of increasing the quality of the pasture. Knowing the valuable or worthless species of grassy carpet of lawns help us make a first picture on the state of normality or degradation of grasslands, by which we would move forward. After analyzing the composition in economic categories of the five phytocenosis of the Gutai Mountains pasture, a decrease of the economic interest species was found. Thus, poor forage value species mainly dominate (28.83 %), followed by medicinal (20.33 %), melliferous (20.33 %) or even toxic species (12.19 %). In a smaller number found food species, and those for industrial use with a percentage of 10.57 %, respectively 9.75 %. The quality, i.e. the economic value of the pasture in the mountain area is low, requiring immediate ameliorative measures, to increase the economic potential of the region.
