We quickly had to discover the complexity of the subject, especially in regards to the species adaptability to changing environments. Although only limited research has been published on Romanian side (as well as in Europe) so far, we decided to continue the project based on freely available data sets only. Our aim is to establish conceptual knowledge and strengthen skills on widely applied GRASS tools, which we would like to contribute and share now with the QGIS community. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>Please let us know if you are interested in our project report and if you have any further requirements aside the ones stated on the website. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=DE>Best wishes, <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=DE><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=DE>David <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=DE><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=DE>4.
