In this study, preliminary growths of natural sessile oak (Quercus petraea (Mattuschka) Lieb.) seedlings which
were made Uniform Shelterwood Method were determined in the sessile oak natural regeneration application in
42 forest division in İstanbul-Bentler Forest Range District. Furthermore, number of sessile oak seedlings, height
growths and root collar diameters of seedlings were investigated in the 10 experimental areas which were taken
in the regeneration area which was 2.0 hectares for 4 years (2007-2010). According to the results of count and
measurements in 2007, it was determined that number of sessile oak seedlings ranged from 56 to 123 per m2,
mean height growth from 2.7 cm to 4.6 cm and mean root collar diameter from 6.5 mm to 8.2 mm were
determined. According to the results of count and measurements in 2008, it was determined that number of
sessile oak seedlings ranged from 43 to 106 per m2, mean height growth from 4.8 cm to 6.5 cm and mean root
collar diameter from 7.3 mm to 10.6 mm were determined. According to the findings which were obtained from
count and measurements in 2009, it was determined that number of sessile oak seedlings ranged from 30 to 92
per m2, mean height growth from 8.6 cm to 9.8 cm and mean root collar diameter from 8.4 mm to 11.5 mm were
determined. According to the last count and measurements in 2010, it was determined that number of sessile oak
seedlings ranged from 18 to 82 per m2, mean height growth from 9.2 cm to 12.3 cm and mean root collar
diameter from 10.2 mm to 12.4 mm were determined.
