The present work aimed to analyze the influence of climate change on the floristic composition of an ecosystem in the sandy area located in southwestern Romania, namely in the Dăbuleni area, Dolj county. The research was carried out on areas where the influence of the zoo-anthropogenic factor is very low or absent and showed that changes in floristic composition occurred within these ecosystems. The observations made allowed the creation of a floristic list that was compared with the literature. Although the number of species has been reduced, the herbaceous cover has nevertheless been well covered. The dominant species which give the physiognomy of these sites belong to the category of those which are not characteristic of sandy soils but which have adapted very well to these conditions. Acclimatization of other species, brought from other regions, has not been possible. Typical psammophilous species such as Polygonum arenarium, Mollugo cerviana, Silene conica, Tragus racemosus, Plantago arenaria, Jasione heldreichii, Achillea ochroleuca, Centaurea soltitialis ssp. solstitialis, etc., prefer open sites because they do not seem to tolerate competition with other species.
