There are continental dunes habitats of Community interest on the territory of Romania outside the checklist for which two reports were made and submitted to European Commission (2013 and 2019). In the initial checklist for Romania, there were five types of continental dune habitats, present in two biogeographical regions (Black Sea - BLS and Pannonian - PAN) for which seven Natura 2000 sites were designated. In 2025, for the preparation of the third report under Article 17 of the Habitats Directive, it was proposed to extend the list based on information collected from the field and documents referring to dune habitats. During field identification, species characteristic of the plant communities that define the habitats were taken into account. The new list confirmed the presence of all five habitat types, with these being highlighted in nine Natura 2000 sites, including Continental (CON) and Steppic (STE) biogeographical regions. The presence of these habitats in the mentioned biogeographical regions requires the updating and revision of two documents: the standard forms and site management plans, as well as their adoption in appropriate legislative acts.
