  • Distribution, Characteristics and Ecological Role of Protective Forest Belts in Silistra Municipality, Northeastern Bulgaria
    ECOLOGIA BALKANICA 2019, Vol. 11, Issue 1 June 2019 pp. 191-204 Distribution, Characteristics and Ecological Role of Protective Forest Belts in Silistra Municipality, Northeastern Bulgaria Kiril V. Vassilev1*, Assen I. Assenov2, Nikolay I. Velev1, Borislav G. Grigorov2, Bilyana B. Borissova2 1 - Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Institute of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Research, Department of Plant and Fungal Diversity and Resources, G. Bonchev str. 23, 1113, Sofia, BULGARIA; 2 - Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski”, Faculty of Geology and Geography, Department “Landscape Ecology and Environmental Protection”, 15, Tzar Osvoboditel Blvd. 1504 Sofia, BULGARIA *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract. Protective forest belts are developed as a defense against dry winds and soil moisture loss and considered as natural capital nowadays. Silistra municipality’s protective forest belts were investigated about their distribution, floristic composition, vegetation structure and syntaxomony. During 2018 field season 32 relevés were collected following the Braun-Blanquet approach. Data about diversity of invasive and melliferous plants were collected also. Vegetation types were identified by numerical classification using hierarchical agglomerative clustering (PC-ORD). Descriptive statistics about the cover of tree, shrub and herb layers as well as cover of invasive and melliferous plants were graphically summarized in vertical box-and-whisker plots. The forest belts syntaxonomical diversity is represented by 2 associations (Cotino coggygriae-Quercetum cerris, Bromo sterilis-Robinietum) and Amorpha fruticosa-Morus alba plant community. Cotino coggygriae-Quercetum cerris has closed horizontal structure with dominants Quercus cerris and Cottinus coggygria in tree and shrub layers respectively. Bromo sterilis-Robinietum is characterized by poor species composition and vegetation dominated by Robinia pseudoacacia and Fraxinus americana, whereas Amorpha fruticosa-Morus alba community has local distribution and represents a final stage of vegetation degradation.

The case study examines TAM both as a physical space as well as a community of active people in the context of Veliko Tarnovo. An active member of the community, the facilitator, took part in the ViabilityNet 3.0 program, which supported development of local community leaders from Central and Eastern Europe. The program offered development guidance to local community leaders as a way of supporting local communities to become more resilient, thriving places where people engage as neighbors, both in the present and with an eye to the future . The envisaged impact of the ViabilityNet 3.0 program is two-fold, as both the local community leaders and their communities were the focus of our attention. Accordingly we deemed it important to gain an understanding of the changes the program brings to both. A complementary study entitled ViabilityNet 3.0 program 2017/2018 evaluation: Community leaders´ learning path (“impact measurement”) exam- ined the community leaders and their development.
