Abstract

Researchers current concerns are to maintain the high floristic biodiversity, enabling

sustainable development of natural grasslands in mountain areas.

Large surfaces of the Apuseni Mountains are fertilized with organic fertilization (these is the only way

of fertilization used by grasslands owners), fact which causes probably the high phytodiversity specific

for these area. Grassland management is the one who creates and maintains a high phytodiversity,

being able also to reduce it drastically in a short time. This involves research at various levels of

intensification in order to determine how productivity and phytodiversity of grassland evolves over

time. The first studies conducted in the Apuseni Mountains were aimed to increase production and

fodder quality through various technological methods (fertilization with organic fertilizers,

amendment, overseeding etc.), without taking into account the specific biodiversity of phytocenosis.

Currently the problem is changing radically and in all research actions undertaken is not overlooked

the environmental dimension. Through this experience we plan to examine how different doses of

organic fertilizers influencing productivity and fitodiversitatea of mountain meadows.
