Abstract
Forest management in Croatian lowland forests is generally based on the natural regeneration of forest stands on the dynamics of natural forest. The paper brings an assessment of silvicultural procedures implemented in the natural regeneration of pedunculate oak. It includes description of site preparation and one of fundamental regeneration felling methods in which the new stand rises under protection of parent stand-shelterwood felling. Shelterwood felling is currently characterized by three stages in Croatia (preparatory felling, seed felling and final felling), which are described in details. Decisive for successful development of the follow-up stand is care of young growths and their tending.
