The natural regeneration formation on the cutting areas in the conditions of the fresh hornbeam-oak forest in the southern part of the Ukraine right-bank forest-steppe

The assessment of the natural regeneration efficiency on 1-6 -year-old cutting areas is conducted; the changes in its species composition depending on the duration of the basic use and the transfer of the main cultures into the forest-covered area are studied. The seedling formation dynamics of the oak, ash tree and other tree species according to cutting years is researched. The analysis of the natural regeneration according to species, condition, height and area placement is given. It is established that the natural regeneration efficiency in the conditions of fresh oak forests is good, and the oak seed regeneration is unsatisfactory.
