Picture 1: Virgin forest of oak (Quercus robur), hornbeam (Carpinus betulus) and ash (Fraxinus angustifolia) Vraticna in Srem (Morovic) is one of the oldest stands of the lowland floodplain forests in southeast Europe.
Picture 2: Traditional shelterwood system in pedunculate oak forests in the Srem area. Very dense regeneration of oak trees achieved with intensive management: consideration of seed years, protection against browsing, soil and ground vegetation treatment, oak mast protection against rodents. Nowadays, the conventional chemicals are being replaced by biodegradable ones, especially to get the FSC certificate.
