abstract = "Oak forests are widespread forest communities in the deciduous vegetation. From the
10 species of oaks in Serbia, next to pedunculate oak (Quercus robur), the most valuable
and common type of tree is sessile oak (Quercus petraea). Sessile oak is characterized
by a relatively wide ecological amplitude, so it is almost present in all forest
areas, as well as in low mountains. In addition to the economic importance of sessile
oak forests, their protective role against soil erosion is also important. However, degradation
and drying of sessile oak forests is very pronounced. Proper land management
not only increases its productivity, but also provides a valuable mechanism for
mitigating the effects of climate change and a way to preserve ecosystem services.
The aim of this study is to determine the dependence of soil properties on sessile oak
forest condition. For this purpose, properties of sites with endangered oak stands were
compared with a sites with stand in a good health condition. Results indicate significant
dependence of oak condition on soil properties. Sites with endangered oak have
higher silt component and bulk density, lower EC-electrical conductivity, pH, Corg,
porosity and Atterberg limits, while contents of micro and macroelements is similar
between sites. This study contributes to understanding of the impact of soil properties
on the natural regeneration of sessile oak forests, which is an important prerequisite
for improving forest cultivation, especially related to the climate change.",
