Abstract
The paper deals with non-whole-area artificial reforestation as a new rationalization method of forest regeneration based on a combination of planting of desirable tree species and natural regeneration of other tree species from surrounding adult stands. It presents the first preliminary results of the experiment established on the demonstration area Kysuce - locality Husarik. The first results suggest that non-wholearea artificial regeneration can bring significant cost savings in establishing and subsequent treatment of the forest cultures. On the other hand, the question of ensuring adequate regeneration of desirable tree species in required time remains open at this time, and longer monitoring is necessary.
