Rezumat

In the context of upcoming challenges related to climate-change and land-use modification, the management of natural protected areas is becoming increasingly important. The ROSCI0040 Coasta Lunii (682,9 ha) has been designated to preserve three types of habitats (6240* Sub-pannonic steppic grasslands, 40A0* Subcontinental peri-Pannonic scrub, 91I0* Euro-Siberian steppic woods Quercus spp.), three species of invertebrates, two of amphibians and one plant species. For the current study, the relevant impact sources have been identified, by using specially adapted check lists. Furthermore, the impact intensity has been determined by using a Rapid Impact Assessment Matrix (RIAM). Then, the results have been interpolated using the Inverse Distance Weighted (IDW) GIS technique. The results show that the main negative impacts are: intensive and non-intensive grazing, artificial afforestation with non-native trees, illegal collecting of insects, reduction of habitat connectivity, changes in species composition (succession), and the increase in intensity and frequency of droughts. Additionally, grassland and forest fires could be a serios threat for the protected habitats and species in the future. In this study, several conservation measures have been proposed in order to improve the conservation status of the natural protected area. The methodology applied could be seen as a model of good practice for the assessment of pressures and threats in other similar areas.
