The present paper is a complex segment of a study aimed at Natura 2000 habitats that are affected by invasive and potentially invasive plants. In the first paper, the forest habitats that have registered changes following the impact of the exercise of this category of plants were presented, and in the present study, the practical Natura 2000 habitats that were affected to a lesser or greater extent by invasive and potential plant species are presented. invasive. These are: 6120* Xeric sand calcareous grasslands, 6240* Sub-pannonic steppic grasslands, 6260* Pannonic sand steppes and 62C0* Ponto-Sarmatic steppes. A summary analysis shows that all analyzed habitats are of community interest, which leads us to say that taking measures to reduce the impact exerted by this category of plants is strictly necessary. The most affected surfaces are those on the periphery of protected areas, where numerous spontaneous species are affected by various phytopathogenic agents and where the zoo-anthropogenic factor makes its presence felt.
