"The paper presents the structural and production characteristics of a typical coppice stand of Hungarian and Turkey oak in private ownership in the Bukovik mountain area. Forests in private ownership on the territory of the Republic of Serbia occupy 57% of the total forest area, where 76.1% are coppice stands. Stands of Hungarian and Turkey oak represent 30.6% of the total area of privately owned forests. Considering the prevalence of coppice forests in Serbia, it is undeniable that forest management planning of these forests represents one of the main challenges for the forestry sector. The basis for the research was six sample plots. The site is located on eutric brown soil, with a small presence of skeletons. This stand is 50 years old, the number of trees per hectare is 1017, while the distribution of trees by diameter classes is a typical for even-aged structure. The total volume is 158 m3/ha and the volume increment is 2.7 m3/ha. The dominant tree species in the stand is the Hungarian oak, accounting for 68% of the total volume. The mean stand diameter by basal area is 18.9 cm, and the mean stand height is 15.2 m. The diameter of the dominant tree by basal area is 24 cm, and the height of the dominant tree is 16.8 m. It is obvious that the investigated stand did not have an adequate silvicultural treatment, which results in an excessive number of trees per hectare and reduced space for growth. All this requires an adaptive approach to the management of such stands by the forestry professionals."
