Abstract
This study investigated the seedlings establishment tendency and the factors affecting them (ex. deer-proof fencing, plot location) in forests damaged by oak-wilt disease and deer browsing in order to understand the restoration possibility. The deer-proof fence contributed to increase the seedling numbers. The species structure was related to the location and the sky factor. Plots located at the lower side of the slope with high sky factor showed some possibility of Q. serrata regeneration. However, plots located at the middle slope with lower sky factor show little possibility and were thought to be covered by shrub species like Ilex pedunculosa
