Abstract

In the upper basin of Moldova and its surroundings there are many forest ecosystems generally composed of coniferous species (spruce, fir) and mixtures of these species, especially with beech. In this paper, I selected and described a total of 20 specific ecosystems from area and their ecologically determinant factors . We created charts favorability using pairs of two environmental factors: altitude-relief, temperature - precipitation, temperature - evapotranspiration, evapotranspiration - precipitation, humidity - relief, altitude - soil, that could describe the spectrum of ecological types of forest ecosystems in the study area.
