This paper presents the results of our research on the methods and success of artificial regeneration of the forests of sessile oak with white linden (Quercetum petraeae tilietosum tomentosae) on the mountain of Cer in the western Serbia. We studied the effects of habitat and stand conditions on the survival, state and development of the seedlings used in the performed artifical regeneration and the seedlings originating from sowing seed of sessile oak. The surface area intended for regeneration was prepared by removing the understory layer of accompanying species (linden) together with the shrub layer. A comparative analysis of the growth of the planted seedlings and the seedlings originating from sowing seed of sessile oak in different climate conditions was performed in two calendar years (2015 and 2016) with evident differences in the basic climate parameters, which affected the success of regeneration. During 2015, the state of the surface area and the sessile oak seedlings after the afforestation was determined, whereby the analysis included the following parameters: seedling survival, seedlings state, vulnerability and degree of damage caused by abiotic and biotic factors, seedling height and height increment during the first growing season in 2015. At the end of the first growing season in 2016, we determined the number, survival rate and dimensions of the seedlings originating from sowing seed of sessile oak. The obtained results indicate significant differences in the survival, attained heights and attained height increments of the planted seedlings and the seedlings originating from sowing seed. The most developed seedlings didn't have the greatest height increment in the first growing season, i.e. the height increment didn't significantly depend on the development (size) of seedlings. The success of the afforestation by seed sowing is consistent with the data obtained from the source litearture.
