Abstract

Putna-Vrancea Natural Park covers an area of about 30204 ha, being declared Natural Park in 2004, by the Romanian Government Decision no. 2151/2004. Putna-Vrancea Natural Park is located in the Curvature Carpathians and includes one of the wildest mountain areas in Romania, shelters many species of flora and fauna of national and international importance such as: Canis lupus, Ursus arctos, Lynx lynx, Rupicapra rupicapra, Cypripedium calceolus, Taxus baccata, Leontopodium alpinum. etc. The present study highlights the evolution of the land use type between 1895-2005, from the northern sector of the Putna-Vrancea Natural Park. Cartographic and historical materials were used for the analysis of land use changes (map 1: 50.000 from 1896 and map 1: 25.000 from 1970), as well as orthophoto plans from 2005. After extracting information from the three distinct types of mapping materials, it was observed that in the 110 years analysed, the forest area inside the park registered a continuous increase with 10% (from 70% in 1895 to 79.6% in 1970, and to 81.1% in 2005). The degree of occupancy of the built surfaces is in a continuous increase from 0.28% in 1895, reaching 0.74% in 2005. By extending the built surfaces, both the tendency of fragmentation of the natural habitats and the decrease of wildlife corridors.
