Oak mildew on self-seeding in stands of the forest experiment summer house

Now Timiryazev Academy Forest experiment unit (FEU) stands undergo a difficult succession process. Gradually old trees die and are succeeded with a new generation. Often it is associated with significant change in stand species composition. In particular surveys showed lack of reliable regeneration of pine, elm, spruce, birch and oak. Self-seeding condition of common oak as one of forest shaping species in FEU has been specially surveyed. Scope of self-seeding mortality due to mildew has been identified.
