The study was carried out in the area of Bukovi in the mountain beech coppice forest and forest cultures of Douglas fir, Norway spruce and Austrian pine in management unit Bukovi, compartments 21, 33 and 34 that belong to Forest Company Department Kosjerić, Serbia. This paper shows the research results which refer to the development of dominant trees in coppice beech stands, as well as man-made stands of Douglas fir, spruce and Austrian pine, artificially established in the process of reconstructiuon on the site of beech mountain forest. The comparative analysis between coppice beech trees alongside artificially grown Douglas fir, Norway spruce and Austrian pine trees was carried out by testing the significance of differences in development of diameters (dbh) and heights. Research results were used to define silvicultural goals and to select the most suitable silvicultural measures with the aim of improving the present state of the sites and better use of their production capacity.
