Přirozená obnova dubu zimního na LHC Městské lesy Ivančice

Aim of the work was to optimize regeneration process for successful natural regeneration of sessile oak in Městské lesy Ivančice (Ivančice Municipal Forests). Various regeneration scenarios of natural oak regeneration were methodically compared with natural regeneration in open space and under vegetation from the perspective of basic growth parameters. Natural regeneration was compared to artificial regeneration. The obtained data was evaluated using basic mathematic-statistical methods. Practical output of the work was a recommendation regarding the regeneration process and outline of the long-term development of the subsequent forest cover. Natural regeneration shadowed in open space grows faster and there is a higher number of individuals per hectare compared to artificial regeneration or natural regeneration under maternal vegetation
