In this study we evaluate the effect of traditional land use and landscape change on the spider communities in the Eastern Carpathians, Romania. Three sampling areas were selected along a gradient of mountain landscape within the boundaries of the Olt river and the mountain zone from the Eastern Carpathian region: forests, semi-natural habitats and extensively used agricultural areas. Spider communities differed according to land use. The highest species diversity was found in clearcut and orchards, whereas forest habitats have less species richness and abundance.
