If the number of oak seedlings and potential stump sprouts is not adequate and the acorn crop is small, but potential seed-producing oaks are well-distributed throughout the stand, then delay harvesting until there's a good acorn crop. You could also apply the shelterwood system and rely on natural regeneration or plant oak seedlings. If you need an immediate financial return you could apply a clearcut or group selection and plant oak seedlings.
