description The aim of this study was to investigate recreational preferences for contrasting stem densities in young stands of penduculate oak. In particular, variations in preferences were examined in relation to the respondents’ affiliation with forestry and their nationality. Due to the increasing importance of oak, especially in the context of urban forests, knowledge of such preferences could have strong implications for future management practices of oak. The study was based on five pairs of colour photographs from each of five recently thinned plots in a 13-year old experiment. The plots presented five different residual stand densities: 7000 stems ha
