The article reports new results on the reconstruction of the noncommercial weakened coppice oak stands in the Left-bank Forest-Steppe zone, Ukraine. For the first time, a technology of reconstruction of coppice stands into the mixed seed natural or planted ones is proposed through regeneration felling with the elements of even gradual, group successive and strip gradual felling with a continuous cutting of 25 m width strips. The use of the technologies that combine regeneration felling, selective sanitary felling and thinning in conjunction with silvicultural activities will allow to form mixed seed natural or planted stands of different ages from noncommercial weakened coppice oak forests and significantly increase their productivity and sustainability.
