After the construction of the "Iron Gate" Hydroelectric Power Station (HPPIG), a great man made lake has been formed in the Danube and its tributaries. Areas between the river and the protection embankments along the flow of the Danube and its tributaries are floodplain forests called "foreland" and are usually covered with woods, mostly poplar and willow trees. The influence of the HPPIG backwater in period from 2014 to 2016 on soil moisture and growth of poplar Populus euramericana I-214 plantations in the vegetation period on the profile "Mlaca" is presented in this paper. The research shows that impact of the HPPIG backwater had caused serious deterioration of natural conditions in the foreland.
