- Abstract
The Făgăraș Massif comprises several mountains that have belonged for centuries to the people of the area (locals’ communities), private properties passed on from one generation to the next. The use of natural and semi-natural grasslands is part of the rural economy and the sustainable development of each area. The grasslands from the southern slope of the Făgăraș Massif have a large area and are distributed from the alpine to the subalpine and mountainous level. The present paper presents the result of the evaluation of the diversity of plant species in the grasslands on the territory of six mountains in the South-West Făgăraș Massif. The result of the evaluation leads to the conclusion that many species have economic values for people, most of them can be used as fodder, medicinal plants, etc., and the increase of population density and distribution might determine economic loss. Good management practices applied on the plant species, but mainly regarding the causes that provoke the economic loss, can keep in balance the plant species diversity for usage by the people.
