Approaches to the assessment of some habitats of community importance in Romania

All European member states must assess the conservation status of the habitats targeted by Habitats Directive 92/43/EEC based on the information on their status and trends and the main pressures and threats affecting them. Our paper presents the assessment of the Romanian community importance habitats (excepting forests) for all five biogeographical regions of Romania on coherence with the member states and with a special emphasis on the Sites of Community Importance (SCIs) of Natura 2000 network. The conservation status of the habitats is determined based on assessment on the parameters and their future prospects. The assessment of the scope and influence of the threat is realized for the evaluation of future prospects.
