This study aimed to identify vulnerable species and establish effective protection measures in seven natural islands of the Danube Delta, located near Isaccea port, Chilia and Sf. Gheorghe Branches during 2023-2024. For the vegetation analysis, phytocoenological relevés were carried out. Transects were carried out to identify vertebrates (birds, ma...

Rural areas and infrastructure in the Danube Delta are affected by natural disasters, and the frequency and severity of hydrological phenomena are increasing due to climate change. The rural areas of the Danube Delta experience significant flooding due to the high levels of the Danube, often resulting from quantitatively significant precipitation....

bstract: A research program was conducted over a four-year period to assess the ecological status of aquatic ecosystems in the Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve. The study involved three seasonal expeditions each year, focusing on hydrological, physico-chemical, and biological measurements. The goal was to understand the long-term interactions between...

bstract: This paper will present the results of research conducted in 2023 in Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve regarding the mapping of the reed beds and characterizing their typologies in order to implement actions to regulate firefighting activities, based on elements of fire ecology, assessment of the sustainable exploitation of vegetal resources,...

Since ancient times, mankind has tried to establish a causality of the phenomena that occur in the surrounding world, to find solutions and answers. Floods are widespread in the Danube Delta they cause great material damage and loss of human life and important consequences. The production of floods in the Danube Delta is due to the entry into the D...

From a geological point of view, Dobrogea presents a wide variety of rocks specific to all three major petrological categories. Plutonic magmatic rocks are found especially in the Macin Mountains, in the form of granites or granodiorites, rarely diorites. Basaltic volcanic igneous rocks are mainly found in the Niculi?el Hills. Metamorphic rocks out...

Intact wetlands can act as carbon sinks and mitigate increased amounts of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere following climate change. In addition to organic soils, the riparian vegetation plays an important role in carbon storage and cycling within wetlands. In the context of the project ‘EDAPHIC-BLOOM Danube’, the riparian vegetation in the Danub...

It is related to project's specific objective-Improve cooperation on IAS monitoring through the involvement of the public at various levels of the project and to the main result aiming at a cross-borde...

Abstract: This paper will present the results of research conducted in 2021 in Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve regarding the mapping of DDBR habitats in the Romanian classification system, assessment of the sustainable exploitation of plant resources, conservation status of invertebrate species of community interest, assessment of the ecological sta...

The present study aims to collect and analyze the data related to the water circulation system and the hydrological risk, for the channels in the Danube Delta, near the Letea and Caraorman units. The data collected supports the research to understand the water circulation system in the context of accelerated dynamics of the hydro-morphology of the...

Danube Delta is a place where the environment, economic activities, traditions and culture form the identity of the place. Changes in the development of economic activities are determined by seasonal dynamics, directly influencing the daily life of the inhabitants in the area. This aspect also contributed to a demographic decline of local communiti...
