Improving Romania's green cover by planting forest protection curtains, in the context of current climate changes.

Abstract

In Romania, the area covered by forest has decreased in the last period of time (28%), is currently below the average of developed countries in the European Union (40%). Meanwhile, a series of extreme weather phenomena have increased, representing the greatest threat facing humanity and the environment. In the current paper the authors analyze the distribution of Romania green cover on geographical areas, trying to find solutions to minimize the existing imbalances.Expanding forest areas should be a priority for ecological restoration because Romania has low forest coverage areas. Research shows that there is an unbalanced distribution of green coverage of Romania in the current climate change, which requires the plantation of protective forest curtains.
