This paper studies the stand state in the coppice Turkey oak forest in a suburban zone of the city of Belgrade, in which Hungarian oak participates with less than 10%. The investigated stand is 65 to 70 years old and it is located in the FMU Lipovica, compartment 30. The number of trees is 495 trees per hectare. Turkey oak accounts for 460 trees per hectare or 92.9%, and Hungarian oak for 35 trees per hectare or 7.1%. Wood volume amounts to 326.1 m3 /ha, in which Turkey oak participates with more than 317.0 m3 /ha or 97%, and Hungarian oak with 9.1 m3 /ha or 3.0%. The study of current diameter and height increment of individual Turkey oak trees shows that the first culmination occurs around the age of 10 (from 5 – 15 years of age) and the second around the age of 35. (from the age of 30 to 40). All the above presented data indicate that the investigated stand is of coppice origin with irregular implementation of tending measures. Future silvicultural treatment should include implementation of reclamation operations with the aim of converting the stand into a high silvicultural form with a more favourable mixture and uneven-aged structure. The final goal is to provide conditions in which the special-purpose forests can fulfill their basic functions, with regard to the specific importance and position of the forest complex Lipovica.
