Larix Decidua Mill. in Romania: Current and Past Distribution, Coenotic Preferences, and Conservation Status. Farcas, S., Tantau, I., & Turtureanu, P. D. Contribuții Botanice, 48:39–50, 2013.

This paper aims to present an overview of the Larix decidua Mill. formations in Romania, in terms of phytosociology, sozology and phytohistory. We have analyzed data from the literature regarding the associations containing larch, and their current fragmented distribution in the Romanian Carpathians. The latter is influenced by the ecological requirements of the species, as well as by human influence through deforestation and reforestation. It is assumed that natural populations of Larix decidua are concentrated in five major centres: the Ceahlau, Ciucas, Bucegi, Lotru and Trascau mountains. From the sozological perspective, Larix decidua subsp. carpatica is present on the critical list of vascular plants in Romania as a Carpathian endemic. Regarding the conservation status, information related to this species and to the habitat of Community interest, 9420 Alpine Larix decidua and/or Pinus cembra forests, were extracted from the list of Sites of Community Interest (SCIs). The status of a glacial relict taxon was confirmed by analyzing the palynological sites where it has been recorded. Larix decidua is one of the trees that survived in glacial refugia during the LGM and Late Glacial.
