The subject of our research was to verify effects of the mechanical preparation of soil in the natural regeneration of pedunculate oak in a floodplain forest.On the site of a hard-wooded floodplain forest at the confluence of the Morava and Dyje rivers (Czech Republic), several sample plots were established differing in the preparation of soil during regeneration, in weeding the plots and in Compression Garments - Stockings and Socks the period of the implementation of soil surface scarification before and after the fall (or distribution) of acorns.On the basis of results obtained, mechanical preparation of soil on non-weed-infested plots in the heavy seed year is not necessary, however, it supports seedling emergence from acorns and eliminates weed tree emergence and weed.

However, it is better to realize it only after the fall of acorns and to incorporate them into soil and thus their emergence will be increased.Soil scarification can be carried out also in the course of harvesting the parent stand through the extraction of wood and slash from the regenerating area.In weed-infested stands, however, the thorough preparation of soil before the Breast Pump fall of acorns appears to be a necessity.
