Felling and dendrometric analysis of altogether 18 mean stand trees and 18 mean dominant trees was performed in different ecological conditions of sessile oak coppice stands in the area of Mt. Cer, North-Eastern Serbia. The subject of the research were the stands in the mature stage which are absolutely prevalent throughout the area, which points to an unfavourable age structure. Although these are coppice stands, formed by clear cutting during the Second World War, there were also individual trees of different ages, of seed origin. This paper, based on growth and increment lines of trees of both vegetative and seed origin, points to the duration period of certain stand development phases, as well as to silvicultural measures which were carried out, i.e which were absent at a given time. Based on tree development, i.e. the analysis of growth elements and their trend, as one of the criteria, stand classification was performed by the priority for regeneration, aiming at the establishment of as good as possible age structure.
