Abstract
Despite significant scientific contribution to research of thinning in oak stands and issues of their intensity and frequency their implementation today is debatable. Research methodology included characteristics of oak stands for generally accepted in forestry and forest inventory methods. The results of 55 years research on the effects of thinning on dynamics of taxation parameters of artificial oak stands in fresh fertile conditions of southern forest-steppe are presented. It was found, oak stands after moderate thinning of the canopy have better height and diameter growth and are more productive than oak stands after high and low thinning intensity. However, the health of stands and timber quality after severe thinning is slightly worse than in the stands after moderate thinning. Severe stand thinning results in water shoots appearance on the trunks of oak, worsening of sanitary condition, to mortality and lower wood quality. The best wood quality was obtained after moderate thinning of the oak stands.
