The studied sector is deficient in terms of forest vegetation, with an obvious tendency to increase the average annual temperature, especially the summer ones. In order to reduce the effects caused by climate change, biodiversity conservation and implicitly the protection of agricultural land, it is intended to establish a forest on an area of 55.6 ha., with forest species suitable from a pedoclimatic point of view. As a result, a complex pedological study was carried out, in different plots, by performing a soil profile and several control surveys, in order to establish the suitability of the land for forestry facilities. The soil type identified is calcaric fluvisols, formed in Ialomita meadow, on account of alluvium, with flat configuration, clay-sandy texture and contrasting distribution. Based on these local pedoclimatic conditions, the formula for afforestation with xerophyte species was established, with fast growth and low requirements in terms of soil trophicity.
