Natural Vegetation

Moldova is situated in two natural zones: forest-steppe and steppe.

However, natural vegetation has only been preserved in certain

areas. Moldova’s steppes originally were grass-covered, but most of

them are now cultivated. Lush meadows and reed growths occur in

the floodplains of the Dniester and portions of the Prut, while salt-

marsh grasslands flourish in the saline valleys of the Cogâlnic,

Ialpug, Botna, and lower Prut.

The climate of the Voronovsky District is

continental, with cold winters and relatively

warm summers. The continental climate of

Belarus is more distinct the closer the region is

to the centre of the European continent and to

the Eastern European Plain.

In general, nature has been favourable towards

our land. Our climate is considered as

moderate with average winter temperatures -

5°C and summer temperatures +17°C. The

amount of precipitation is about 700 millimeters

per year. The vegetative period is 193 days.
