Habitats with Large Bitter Cress (Cardamine amara L.) in the Spring Area of Nera River (Semenic Mountains, Romania)

The paper presents the spring habitats and their communities edified by the Large Bitter Cress (Cardamine amara L.) in the area of Nergăniţa, a headwater stream of the Nera River included in the “Nature Reserve Semenic Mountains and springs of Nera River”. The communities of Large Bitter Cress are s...
