Global warming has become a problem in many areas. The orientation of farmers towards an agriculture adapted to drought conditions, which uses dry-farming systems, allows the responsible and sustainable management of agricultural lands, without fragmenting habitats and contributing to the extinction of some species of flora and fauna. The survival of some species with a role in biodiversity for agricultural crops, the adaptability of some of them in dry areas and the improvement to create different hybrids with resistance to increasingly aggressive environmental factors, is due to this type of agriculture and to the new directions in specialized research. The study was conducted as an open-field experience, in the southeastern part of Romania, at the Agricultural Research and Development Station, Braila. The research started with the agricultural year 2019 but its climatic conditions were registered as excessive, which is why the capitalization of the results was made only for the agricultural year 2020-2021. Of the 7 cultivated plant species that do not normally fit into the crop plan in the study area, only three species (flax, sorghum, mustard) coped with climate stress and could be analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively.
