The purpose of these researches and studies carried out in the reference area, consists in obtaining the widest possible fund of knowledge, regarding the characteristics of the natural environment and its macrozonal and microzonal particularities, which will substantiate, both ethnically and scientifically, all the elements that define the structure of the edaphic cover and its favorability, regarding the main cultivated species, in order to develop sustainable management systems of soil and land resources. The researched area refers to a total area of 27601 ha, of which 21376 ha (77.45%) are agricultural lands (10931 ha, respectively 39.61% being arable land) and 4729 ha (17.13%), land with forest vegetation in the Bara-Ghizela area. This is characterized through varied geological and physical-geographical conditions, which conditioned the formation of an edaphic cover, represented by several types of soil such as:Regosols, Alluviosols, Phaeosols, Eutricambosols, Preluvosols, Luvosols, Vertosols, Pelosols, Stagnosols, Gleiosols and Anthrosols. They are distinctly distinguished by their properties and fertility maintenance measures, in relation to the peculiarities of the ecopedological profile of each of the territorial units (TEO/UT). The present work is a very complex one. It provides basic information and methodological elements for the assessment and characterization of soil and land resources, on the basis of which the favorability of soils for pastures, hay, trees and the main cultivated field plants (wheat, barley, corn, soybean, sunflower) has been established. At the same time, this information can be of real use in agricultural research and practice, as well as for the development of interdisciplinary studies regarding the quality of life.

The main objective of the research followed, in particular, the evolution of hydrophysical properties of a typical chernozem type soil, dominant in the reference area, with very good fertility characteristics, from the low Plain of Banat, in the period 2016-2020. The researches of the present paper elaborated, consist in the accumulation of scientific data regarding the evolution of some components of the agricultural land productivity, regarding the temperatures and precipitations in the studied area and hydrophysical properties, as well as; humidity, field capacity, useful water capacity, wilting coefficient, which are the basis for the substantiation of current, modern cultivation technologies or high-performance pedo-amelioration work, through a complex approach to the physical-geographical and climatic-edaphic conditions in the low plain Banat. The aim of our own research was to find new current scientific and practical elements, in order to achieve a integrated management, efficient from an agricultural point of view, with low energy and financial efforts, ecological and conservation, improvement of the soil and the environment. In preparing and conducting this paper, we took into account several aspects of physical-geographical and pedo-climatic characteristics based on studies in recent years, during the doctorate, starting with 2016, respectively, research on the cultivation of grain corn for four consecutive years. During this time period, 2016-2020, the periodic determinations of soil moisture within the researched area were made, which were then recorded in its own database. These analyzes and results are a continuation, a small contribution, of the efforts of the last decades on the line on the concerns about climate change, a danger for the whole humanity, taking into account the multitude of factors that affect the global climate.

The importance of the approached topic derives from the fact that the land properties are extremely differentiated in the territory, due to the variation of pedogenesis factors and conditions, as well as from the fact that in production system of plants, the productive potential of the soil and the judiciously applied humar labour are harmoniously combined. The aim of the research finds its origin in the current scientific and practical concerns of the accumulation of knowledge on pedological and agrochemical characteristics regarding the inventory, grading and classification of soil resources according to the ecological requirements of the main cultivated plants, in order to identify and develops an agronomically, ecologically and conservatively integrated management for the soil and the environment. The presented results are part of the program of doctoral studies and researches (28.09.2015- 27.09.2018) having as theme "Research on the ecopedological bases of land productivity in the Lipova Hills and possible pressures on their quality". The approached issue refers to the lands of the territorial administrative unit (ATU) Remetea Mare with an area of 10125 ha, of which 8691 ha represents the agricultural land. The paper offers, through the presented material, basic knowledge and methodological elements for the evaluation and characterization of natural and anthropically induced resources, in the hope that the information obtained will arouse the interest of the decision maker so that in the near future agricultural research and practice, together with environmental protection, to make efforts for the development of interdisciplinary studies, not being able to talk about a healthy environment without a healthy soil.

The aim of the research undertaken finds its origin in the current scientific and practical preoccupations more and more assiduous to identify and develop an integrated management of agroecosystems, efficient from an agronomic point of view, with reduced energetic and financial efforts, ecological and conservative for soil and environment. This paper presents a few aspects regarding the edaphic layer structure and its quality, as well as some restrictive features of land quality, features that define their vocation for certain utilities and different favorabilities for certain plants and fruit trees. The geographical area known as the Lipovei Hills, Lipovei Piedmont or Lipova Plateau is positionally located in the western part of the country. As a geographical unit of transition between the orogeny of the Western Carpathians. They are an integral part of the Western Hills, which are well-individualized geomorphological units by the structure of deposits, their location on the periphery and altitude. The situation of the land of recent developments and its current state consists of all areas represented by land areas and those covered by water, regardless of destination, the title on which they are held or the public or private domain to which they belong. Referring to the area taken into account, the issue addressed refers to an area of 309,186 ha of which 181,890 ha are agricultural land (58.83%) and 110,695 ha (35.80%) land with forest vegetation, located in western Romania, which from an administrative point of view, they belong to a number of 25 ATUs from Timiş (17) and Arad counties (9).
