The paper examines the evolution and pedological importance of soils in the low plains of western Romania, focusing on the Mureș-Galațca Plain and the Bega-Timiș-Bârzava Canal. The main objective is to investigate the natural factors influencing the formation, evolution, and characteristics of these soils, such as morphological and hydrographic variability, lithological aspects, and tectonic activities, including subsidence. A detailed analysis of geological processes, such as sediment deposition, will enhance understanding of their impact on soil fertility. The paper will also highlight the
effects of human activity on land resources and the challenges faced, such as salinization and soil compaction. These issues are often worsened by groundwater conditions that can adversely affect agricultural productivity. Proposed strategies for managing soil resources include emphasizing conservation measures and adopting sustainable agricultural practices to improve soil health. By addressing these aspects, the paper underscores the vital connection between pedological characteristics and local agricultural development, emphasizing the need for effective land resource management to ensure long-term agricultural sustainability in these regions. A strategic reevaluation of agricultural policies is essential in light of current ecological challenges.
