8. HR-035 – Mlaștina de la Pârâul Rușilor

Location: This peat bog is the northernmost of the 11 peat bogs proposed for rehabilitation in the Center area in this project. The swamp at Pârâul Rușilor is located in the north of Harghita county, near the border of Suceava county, north of Bilbor commune. The bog with the code HR-035, called Swamp from Pârâul Rușilor is located at an altitude of 945 m, can be identified with GPS coordinates latitude (N) 47˚5'56.17 "and longitudinal (E) 25˚28'37.95" and being a small area bog of only 3.02 ha. The area is owned by the Lăzarea Compossesorate Association, without a cadastral number. The swamp from Pârâul Rușilor is not a site of community importance, not being integrated in the NATURA 2000 site.

Conservation status: The main habitat type in this area is 7140 - Transitional peat bogs. The state of conservation of this habitat during the land development was considered to be moderately degraded, being in an unfavorable state of conservation.

Identified pressures and threats: During the field inspections, the current pressures were identified, but also those that will threaten the habitats in the future. In addition to those identified in the restoration schemes in the PeatRO program, we also identified other disruptive factors, pressures and threats:

  • intensification of the grazing effect on the western part of the land, for which reason it needs to be eliminated by the intervention of building an electric fence in the affected part (sub-activity 2.1 and 2.2);
  • accumulation of the amount of biomass by the decomposition of grassy vegetation, which contributes to increasing the degree of mineralization and eutrophication of peatland. Requires interventions and mowing on an area of ​​1.2 ha (sub-activity A.6.1).
