The present paper analyzes some forest habitats from Oltenia, which are affected by different invasive and potentially invasive species. The large number of habitats present on the territory of Oltenia did not allow their unitary research. In this paper, references are made only to the habitats 91M0, 91E0*, 91Y0, and 92A0. The main factor that greatly contributed to the introduction and rapid spread of these invasive and potentially invasive plants in the analyzed habitats was zoo-anthropogenic. The changes that occurred affected both the structure and the functions of these habitats. Among the invasive and potentially invasive species identified in the studied habitats, which affect their floristic composition, we mention: Ambrosia artemisiifolia L., Acer negundo L., Artemisia annua L., Asclepias syriaca L., Bidens frondosus L., Echinocystis lobata (Michx) Tor. et A. Gray, Prunus cerasifera Ehrh., Robinia pseudoacacia L., and Xanthium orientale L. subsp. italicum (Moretti) Greuter.
