The study examines forest stands within Production Unit I Vlădila, managed by the Caracal Forest District (Olt Forestry Directorate), focusing on the influence of ecological factors on the dominant species — black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) and Hungarian oak (Quercus pedunculiflora). Using forest management data and field observations, climatic, edaphic, and site conditions were assessed.
Results indicate a predominance of oak and black locust stands developed on cambic phaeozem and psamosol soils, characterized by medium productivity and generally satisfactory health. The study highlights the need for appropriate silvicultural measures to support natural regeneration, maintain productivity, and ensure the ecological stability of forests in the Oltenia Plain.
