“…Transformations become part of a broader strategy of climate change mitigation, and other urgent environmental problems of this time such as loss of biological diversity (Thomas et al 2014;Spiecker et al 2004). One of the crucial factors influencing the success of performed forest transformations is the existence of natural regeneration that is more productive and resistant to external environmental impacts in comparison with artificial regeneration (Hasanov et al 2016). At the same time it also is an indicator of forest vitality and stability (Štícha et al 2010).…”

“…The almost entire absence of up to 40-year-old natural oak stands in the forest fund confirms this fact. Successful natural regeneration requires optimal conditions for the emergence and growth of young seedlings, as well as the elimination of the adverse impact of environmen-tal externalities (Hasanov et al, 2017). The issue of natural seed regeneration of oak forests is still urgent for the Ukrainian forestry sector.…”

“…Modern forests exist in areas of northern Iran and adjacent Azerbaijan, but the botanical composition of these plant communities is very different from the ancient forests. The extant forests sometimes contain a few conifers, but the dominant components are angiosperms, particularly Fagus (Beech), Carpinus (Hornbeam), Fraxinus (Ash), Quercus (Oak)and a host of other broadleaved trees [36,37].…”
