Ecological assessment of the pastures from the extravilan of the locality of Cimișlia

Abstract

The productivity of the pastures is influenced by the ecological conditions - climate, relief, geological composition, hydrographic network, soil cover. According to the research, they highlighted some legitimacy of the level of pasture productivity depending on the relief elements – exposure, slope, altitude and shape of the slopes, heat and humidity insurance. In the conditions of the northeastern slope, the production of meadows was higher compared to that obtained on the southwestern slope. In all variants, the production of meadows decreases from the upper to the middle of the slopes and considerably increases to the lower slopes. Meadow productivity decreased from cambic chernozem (4517 kg / ha) to common chernozem (3718 kg / ha) and carbonate chernozem (1677 kg / ha). On marshy alluvial soils the production of meadows is high, but of a lower quality.
