摘要：In the terms of current climate change, reconversion of land use in the drought-and aridityaffectedsouth-western Romania, is an issue of utmost priority. Thus, the present study aimrepresents a diachronic analysis of the land use within the Bechet town area and proposes viablesolutions for soil drought and aridity mitigation. Since 1989, uncontrolled and abusive loggingaffected the black locust forest areas, enabling the sand dunes expansion and causing ecologicaldisturbance. The main research methods were: field observation, statistical-mathematical methodsand GIS mapping. The analysis of topographic maps and orthophotographs in 1970 to 2008revealed a very low spatial distribution of both the forest shelterbelts and shelterwoods. Weproposed a reconstruction of these forest areas, which today can no longer perform theirfundamental function of land protection, because of intensive degradation. The positiveconsequences on long term would be the mitigation of climate change impact and prevention offurther land degradation
