About article:
The Subcarpathian area in Romania lies outside the Carpathian Arc and stretches between the Motru and the Moldova Valleys. The long-lasting impact on the environment has altered some of its components, generating imbaliance. Increased deforestation in some areas, even on step slopes, has amplified erosion, the soil layer has been reduced or washed away altogether; thousands of hectares have been cleared for the exploitation of useful mineral substances; waste dumps have created new landscapes, salt lakes have formed on the site of collapsed salt-domes, crude-oil and gas exploitations are polluting large expanses of soil and vegetation, etc. However, current uses are often in agreement with the natural potential, the landscape presenting an alternation of forests, orchards, pastures and farming lands. The new property relations have led to a changed in landuse, supposedly with significance effects on the quality of the environment of this region which is in a fairly sensitive state of equilibrium.
