Abstract

A comparative phytosociological study was made out on two types of forest on the southern slopes of Moslavačka gora in the western part of the Pannonic Plain, Yugoslavia: acidophilic oak forest of Festuco-Quercetum petraeae Hruška 1975 and areas where Robinia pseudoacacia has been introduced by man. After cutting, the oakforest reestablishes spontaneously. Reafforestation with Robinia leads to changes irreversible in species composition and vegetational structure and prevents reestablishment of oak forest. The introduction of this allochthonous species prevents the primary wood from being restored. Forestry planting projects with a view to reducing the Robinia have so far proved ineffective.
