Although fauna and flora have been studied on the park territory, many ecological relations are still little known. Detailed studies regarding the succession of vegetation on the rocklands are needed, as well as studies on the evolution of vegetation in different stages of fixing quarries and on the evolution of meadow vegetation, etc.  

Macin Mountains are in the same time unique and representative, at least at the national level. They stand for an original combination due to the synthesis of all geological eras and to their biogeographical specificity conferred by the interference between the southern limit of the Central-European and Caucasian species, the northern limit of the Mediterranean, Balkan and Pontic species as well as the western limit of some Asian species. At the same time, these mountains represent the northern limit of the sub-Mediterranean part of the Balkan Peninsula, forming a distinct unit of the Macedo-Tracian vegetation province. Their representative character at the national level is conferred by the presence of three vegetation layers, characteristic especially for the Dobrudjan Tableland, such as the Balkan mesophilous broad-leaved forests, xerothermal sub-Mediterranean forests and the forest steppe with sub-Mediterranean forests. The herbaceous vegetation is especially representative for the Pontic steppe, which is spread in Romania on reduced and fragmented areas that predominate in Dobrudja. Therefore, the association Agropyretum cristatae has been until now identified only in this region. Because of the arid climate, the wet zones vegetation is seen only on reduced areas. The presence of the threatened species Lythrum thymifolia increases the national value of some of these associations. Macin Mountains represent the “genetic reservoir” for some particular species such as: Coridalys x dobrogensis, Euphorbia macinensis si Herniaria glabra var. dobrogensis. The network of protected area on a country’s territory must be protected in such a way that it should cover the whole heterogenity of the country’s ecological structure and this network should represent the frame of the national mosaic of natural and semi-natural ecosystems. Given that MMNP teritorry includes 50% of the national vegetal taxons and it is part of the most important migration corridor for the birds of our country and of Europe, it is really important to understand the ecological processes that are going on at ecosystem level. It is wrong to think that long term conservation is possible only through a management stategy regarding diversity inside the park teritorry. “Insular” protection results into a dispersion of diversity from the park to the ecotonal and other surrounding zones and a poor species coming in the park. Finally, some species of local, national and ecoregional importance can go extinct. Once with the adoption of this management plan, it is important to supervise the external factors that influence the ecotonal zones situated at the limit of the national park, since in these zones there are active processes in development, much more sensitive towards the anthropic factors; these zones represent the habitats for many vulnerable or threatened species in MMNP (spaces of microevolution): Ground squirrel, Stone marten, Salker falcon, Isabelline wheatear. In the ecotonal zones, the structural and functional factors of ecosystems inside and at the park limit, will be monitored; this will help checking the fluctuation of the exogen and endogen command factors and will give the possibility to pull the emergency signal when the change of the parameters exceed the capacity of the natural regulating mechanisms of these ecosystems. Special attention is also paid to the population distribution inside the biotope: random, grouped or sometrical distribution.  Another essential aspect is the study of successions taking place at the diversity level in the park and at its limit as far as concerns the fauna and the flora components. Most of the times the species redundance serves as a suficient reason for bearing pressure, but it is neglected the fact that a certain level of diversity loss makes it impossible for the ecosystem to self-adjust. There will be a permanent supervision in what concerns the alternance of associations at the interference between the “steppe meadows” and “steppe forests”. There will be long term observations that may confirm or infirm the evolution of the two ecosystem types, their mutual alternation with or without anthropic influences and the stage that each of them represent as compared to state of “relative climax”. A special aspect that is worth monitoring, is the evolution of the vegetal associations in the clearings included in the Zone of stable conservation, because up to the moment that the park was established, there were significant anthropic influences such as mowing the grass in order to get fodder for animals. Even if few in number, in such clearings with anthropic influences, in time there have been defined certain chanels of energy, substance and information, which is why a lack of intervention could lead to a competition resulting in the elimination of some priority species of small size. For that reason, these will be the zones in which there will be a complete taxon assessment, after which mowing will be done only in “witness lots” representing 10% of the clearing surface. The results will lead to the application of the most appropriate solution from the ecological point of view. Once with forbidding the hunting inside the park, there will be a growth and evolution of the fauna trophic chains, so that any major imbalance that could possibly result in the species disappearance should be immediately identified as such. Natural ecosystems tend to evolve from optimum as compared to the anthropic systems that are most of the time guided toward maximum, to the disadvantage of the natural ones. That is why the presence of the raptors in a certain number is essential for the state of health and normal evolution of ecosystem and shouldn’t be considered as a disturbing presence as it used to be before the park establishment. Taking into account that the species of the fauna component don’t know the “limits” of the park in their dispersion, it is necessary to perform a permanent comparative analysis of the assessments results carried out in the park with the results obtained in the surrounding areas where hunting is allowed and where later there should be comparative observations of fauna, a selection model that must take into account the species proportion on the surface and the size of each population as they exist inside the park where selection is natural. MMNP is a sanctuary of diversity where intra-specific and interspecific relation acn be surely studied; these are natural alternances and species that will not be seen in any other part of the country.  There are two zones of significant importance, with different protection status – Pricopan Crest in MMNP and Lacul Sarat zone which is under Macin Local Council administration. The opportunity of an integrated management of the two zones (by establishing an ecological corridor between the two stocks of biodiversity and by including them in common programs of awareness and protection) will be subject of analysis for the Macin Local Council and the local community. Through swamp habitats and superficial water, Salted Lake increases the capacity of self-regulation of the surrounding ecosystems and the MMNP implicitely; apart from the functional complementary impact for the habitats in the park, it also reveals a unique landscape potential..
