Abstract: 
The site of the National Pedagogical University is experiencing a phenomenon of increased anthropization due in particular to academic activities for many years, to the socio-political crisis and to the effects of climate change on the quality of biodiversity.
The study focuses on the dynamics of the flora of the National Pedagogical University based on the comparison of two inventories respectively carried out in 2012 and 2022.
Factors related to farming methods and those related to climate and soil have an influence on vegetation. Through the analysis of floristic parameters and the dynamics of land use of this site, a negative evolution of the flora emerges. The appreciation of the floristic parameters is based on the interpretation of floristic inventory data. A total of 49 plant species belong exclusively to spermatophytes, distributed among the classes Magnoliopsida (93.9%) and Liliopsida (6.1%).
Anthropogenic action has played a role both in the degradation of the site and in the mitigation of climate change.
