Grasslands with sparse trees are a high biological and cultural value agroforestry system, which are not enough promoted in Romania. In this article, a grassland with sessile oak and pedunculate oak and one without trees were studied. Data were collected from a number of 7 sample areas distributed randomly with an area of 100 m2. In these surfaces were taken soil samples from the layer 0 - 10 cm deep and samples of grassy species, about 200 grams. Also, in the grassland with sparse trees all the trees were inventoried and were measured the diameter of the trunk at 1.30 m, the height of the trees and the projection of their crown. From the analysis of the data, the grassland with trees is superior to the tree-less grassland, from all points of view: productive, protective and aesthetic, which is why this agroforestry system in the temperate zone of our country plays a very important role in maintaining a balance between the quality of the pastures and the quantity and quality of the animal products obtained.
