Improper agronomic practices threaten valuable grassland species in Maramures County.
The researchers studied a grassland in Maramures County dominated by Agrostis capillaris and Festuca rubra, used for grazing and mowing. They found that the grassland is mainly composed of grass species, with valuable fodder species present. Most species are sensitive to grazing and have medium resistance to mowing. The grassland is not well-maintained due to improper agricultural practices, resulting in a medium-quality pasture with a low load capacity.
