The research carried out aimed at capturing the structural and qualitative changes, the overall evolution of forest ecosystems on degraded lands and highlighting the types of effective cultures on different categories of degraded land. The researches were carried out in the period 2017-2018 in research plots located in perimeters for the improvement of degraded lands, in representative situations. In the paper are presented synthetically the data regarding on the characteristics of forestry cultures in the forest-steppe site, realized in different compositions on lands with various forms of degradation. On very strongly eroded and ravenous lands, the forestry cultures made with black pine in intimate mixture with xerophytic species and shrubs, gave good results. On moderately to heavily eroded lands, mixed cultures with oak and different species, gave good results, in association them in biogroups or grouping at least 2 rows of oak interleaved with accessory species and shrubs. The obtained results offer particularly valuable information for the scientific substantiation of future afforestation compositions and of the silvotechnical works for the installation and tending of forestry cultures on degraded lands.
