Amelioration of forest sites, reforestation of barren land and reconstruction of degraded coppice forests have always been just a routine job carried out in a non-systematic manner and with more or less favourable outcomes of the implemented operations. Since there is a need for a viable strategy of reforestation that can be successfully put into practice, the authors of this paper, together with their associates, have set themselves a goal of compiling all prior investigations of site factors, forest ecosystems, state of forests and deforested areas and the selection of appropriate species and lower taxa for reforestation and amelioration. It is necessary to draw up a new strategy of reforestation based on modern scientific discoveries that are already in practice in Central Europe. This goal calls for drastic changes in all segments of reforestation practice – from gene pool conservation, seed stand establishment and broadleavedoriented nursery production to adjusting bio-ecological characteristics of different species to the site condions of the terrains that are to be reforested. We hope that our efforts will make a substantial contribution to developing and adapting a new, modern strategy of reforestation in Central Serbia.
