COZIA MOUNT

Key words: colaboration researches, lichens, Cozia Mount, Romania, Turkey

ABSTRACT

The work has an informativ character concerning the colaboration Romanian-

Turkish in the study of the lichens from the Cozia Mount. The plan of colaboration had
been solicited and initiated of the partners from Turkey, that had accomplished a Website
about Lichens of Cozia:http://cozialichens.googlepages.com/ and cozialichens@gmail.com.
At the research had also taken part: Irina RADU- The Technical Forest College Rm.-
Valcea, Pavel PRUNDEL- The Administration of the Cozia National Park. Of course, had
been invited to join the group experts from the university center Cluj, certain the
distinguished professor Maria Ciurchea and professor Decebal-Radu CIURCHEA, that
had honored us with his presence at Căciulata for two days, occasion to take place the
honorable meet with the partners of Turkey.

INTRODUCTION

The Cozia Mount, according to some testimonies it would be “Kogaionon, the

saint mountain of the Dacians” [9]. The Cozia Mount, placed at the east of The Defile of
Olt, form part of the Mountains Fagaras group, beeing the south-occident subdivision of
those. The Fagaraş Mountains, in total amount, form part of The Cozia National Park, being
located in the central zone of Romania, in the central-south part of the Meridional
Carphatians, being recrossed, from north to south, of the Olt River. From the
administrative point of view, forms part of the Valcea district.
According to our pre-research on Cozia Mount, eligible area for lichen collecting
is about 117, 6 km2 that is a part of National Park of Cozia. This possible study area is a
large rectangle with sides of 6’ x 8’ length. The coordinates of the corners are; from North
to South: 45022’N-24025’E, 45016’N-24025’E and from East to West 45022’N-24o17’E,
45016’N-4017’E. There are 6 squares from East to West and 8 squares from North to South.
Each square has 1’ x 1’ dimensions and will be called ‘Grid’. This grid system will make
our work easier and well organised. Data about the plan of research can be found on the
Website about Lichens of Cozia. http://cozialichens.googlepages.com/ and

prevail gneiss, known under the name of „gneiss of Cozia“, like crystals of orthoclase and
granate. The southern unit it is formed by limestone of reef, conglomerates with elements
of gneiss and gritstones (all of cretaceous age), packets of rocks that sink into new
sedimentary systems. The relief of the Cozia National Park, with a departure of altitude of
about 1.360 m (between the Olt Valley and the Top Cozia, 1.668 m), it is characterized by a
dynamic aspect: big differences of level on small areas, steep slopes and relief with aspect
of ruins. Hydrology. All the rivers that drain the Cozia National Park are tributaries to Olt,
either directly (Băiaşu, Lotrişorul, Păuşa, Călineştiul etc.), or indirectly, through the
gathering of those of the Lotru (Văsilatu etc.). Climate. The annual average temperature at
the Cozia station (1.573 m alt.) is of 3,30C, and the average quantity of precipitation is of
1.015 mm/year. With the decrease of the altitudes the annual average temperature grows,
reaching 100C in the Olt Valley, and the precipitation decline till 700 mm/year. The
southern slopes are being submitted to the influence of the warmer air which advances to
north longways Olt, which influences the local vegetation. Flora and vegetation. The flora
of the park is extremely luxuriant, having approximately 932 taxons. Endemite narrow local
are: Centaurea stoebe var. coziensis and Stipa pulcherrima crassiculmis (S. crassiculmis),
like also numerous rare species. A characteristic of the Cozia massif is the inversion of the
altitudinal disposal of the levels of forest vegetation (the durmast reaches the highest
altitude in Romania 1200- 1300 m, and the fir and the beech goes down till 300-400 m
altitude. The wooden vegetation is characterized by durmast forests (Quercus dalechampii,
Quercus petraea, the pricipal vegetal association identified being: Potentillo micranthae-
Quercetum dalechampii A.O.Horvát 1981 - till altitudes of 1026m, 45018'N-24021'E, in
Oltenia region, the association it is mentioned just from Inferior Basin of the Motru River
[8] and in the Cerna of Olteţ River Basin [11]), of beech (Fagus sylvatica) and of spruce
fir (Picea abies), and others.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

The lichen flora of Romania has been studied since over 150 years and the results
are found in over 300 publications. Moruzi et al. (1967) presented a survey (in Romanian)
of all available floristic information. Following practice of that time, these authors included
many infraspecific entities, listing a total of 2575 taxa [5].
Researches about lichens from Cozia Mount had effectuated: Codoreanu &
Ciurchea [7] mentioning on gneiss, at altitudes between 1000-1200 m, 35 species of
lichens; Bartók [1] mentiones 36 species of lichens, some of them had been reconsiderated
by nomenclature and included in ”Catalog of lichens in Romania” by Ciurchea [4].
The field study has been effectuated according to the research plan established on
the Website: http://cozialichens.googlepages.com/ and cozialichens@gmail.com. Of course
it will come the phase of the analysis in the laboratory for the identification for certain of
the lichen species, phase that will be realized by the partners from Turkey.

In synthesis, it will be presented the genera and some of the species identified in
the research, like also the species named until now (written in the quadratic parenthesis).

CONCLUSIONS

The preliminary data obtained in the study lichens from the Cozia Mount, through
collaboration with the partners from Turkey distinguishes the presence of 65 genera of
lichens. Among those: 20 genera are new for Cozia Mountain, 31 genera have
representatives named in the studied area, 14 genera are uncertain, and 4 genera named in
the area haven’t been idenfied yet. From the study of the durmast plant formations, it had
drawn the conclusion that those have a floral composition adequate to the association
Potentillo micranthae-Quercetum dalechampii A.O.Horvát 1981, because of the specific
microclimate generated by the submetiderranean influences, the association that we
considerate it to be characteristic to the hillocks an the inferior mountainous zone from
Oltenia. On the other side, though it is named, Quercus polycarpa, on the effectuated
ranges, it hasn’t been idenfied. In synthesis, this study comes to complete the white stains
that exist in the knowledge of the lichens from Cozia and from Romania.
