An artificial regeneration of mountain forest stands situated on water-logged sites has been solved for 9 years within experimental watershed in a summit part of the Orlické hory Mts., north-eastern Bohemia. Not only watershed management leading to decrease of groundwater table level, but also a proper plantation establishment including care of young plantations are important measures to succeed in regeneration there. The article concludes results from investigation dealing with modified mound planting, addition of ameliorative materials (ground limestone and amphibolite, mineral soil) and using fertilizer (Silvamix) to support growth of following tree species: European beech, sycamore maple and silver fir planted into Norway spruce thicket.
