This paper analyses the state of forest cover percentage in Vojvodina and the potentials of establishment of forest tree and shrub plantations on the new areas, aiming at the dynamic balance and sustainable development of its ecosystems. Forests occupy about 137000 ha, or 6.37% of the total area in Vojvodina, i.e. on the average 1.5% in the zone of agricultural region, and even below 1% in some regions. Consequently, this area belongs to the category of agricultural-steppe-forest regions, as the example of extremely endangered ecosystems. The estimated ideal forest cover percentage in Vojvodina accounts for 14.3% of the total area.
