Our paper describes a case study, on a 27 km-long section of the Moldova River in Romania, on which floods often occur. Floods are some of the most disastrous phenomena caused by combined factors: atmospheric and hydrological with significant repercussions on the environment, with great material damage and loss of life. According to this application, GIS technology is a remarkable solution that can solve rationally, intelligently and efficiently the increasingly difficult problems related to these phenomena, to th...

Our research reveals the importance of GIS technology for land evaluation. The research was conducted on a piece of land of about 770 ha in Romania, which enjoys a diversity of natural factors. Land suitability evaluation, especially given limited land resources, is an important stage in the assessment of its ecological state and for land use planning. The main goal of this evaluation is to estimate the possibilities of maintaining the optimal natural potential of the soil in the process of a certain mode of use o...

In the paper we studied toxicity of petroleum on germination and seedling stage of plant using phytotoxicity tests. These tests measure the decrease or absence of germination and root elongation only after a few days of exposure to contaminated soils compared to unpolluted soil (control). The plant seeds used were rape (Brassica napus), white mustard (Sinapis alba), peas (Pisum sativum) and rye (Secale cereals). The soil used in the experiments was a reference OECD soil for these types of tests. The soil was pollu...
