SUMMARY
In order to establish the influence of species and fertilization on the maintenance of seedlings planted on degraded lands by superficial erosion in the Transylvanian Plain we used black pine (Pinus nigra), ash-tree (Fraxinus excelsior) and red dogwood (Cornus sanguinea). The fertilization has been done with nitrogen (active substance) in dozes of 10 and 20 grams per pit planting. We established the maintenance degree of seedlings in the first and the second year after planting.
