| Research Abstract |
On the north-facing slope of South Carpathian Mountains, intermediate-stationed transhumance of sheep has been seen as tradition since the time of Socialist Regime. Land degradation occurred after 1985 and continuously had been seen by 2005, in the areas with altitudes of 1000m a.s.l.
Since EU joining in 2007, land degraded areas have covered by grass gradually in the parts with altitudes of 1000m a.s.l.
On the top of mountains around 2000m, only small number of lambs has moved in summer, during the 20 years. As a result, the trees invaded into grass land. This is an evidence of degradation of inter mediate transhumance of sheep.
