The highest number of seedlings was found in gap O1, while other two
gaps have had equal plant number. Regarding control plots gap O1 had two
times more plants than control. In gap O2 was found two times lower plants
number regarding control, while gap O3 had equal plants number as control.
Considering plants age in all gaps and control plots was found the highest
number of biennial plants (table 8).


Considering percentage of tree species younger than three years, in gaps
was found the highest proportion of silver fir, then mountain maple, and the
lowest common beech (table 9).


Considering the number of older trees good regeneration with deciduous
tree species was found within gaps namely with mountain maple and common
beech (tables 10, 11 and 12).


Considering amount of different functional microorganism groups small
forest gap O2 has medium, while large gaps have lower soil biogenity. Comparing
large gaps in different forest associations, large gap O1 in beech-fir forest
regarding large gap O3 in fir with hard fern forest has significantly higher
total fungi count, amount of asymbiotic nitrogen fixatros and ammonia forming
bacteria. In this research was found different amount of soil individual
microorganism groups comparing beech-fir forest and fir with hard fern forest.
As in larger forest gaps were found certain changes in soil microbiological
characteristics regarding small gap it can be concluded that large gaps
represent specific microbiotops. Namely in forest gaps are found young silver
fir plants, while there is lack of older ones. According to height in gaps there
are no silver fir plants higher than 50 cm. As large forest gaps are enlarging
and not getting smaller, also are good regenerated with common beech and
mountain maple plants, were are believe that forest gaps are biotops with exchanging
tree species.


Soil chemical characteristics in small beech-fir forest gap had higher values,
and large gap lower values than control plots. Soil chemical characteristics
in large fir with hard fern gap had smaller values than in control plots,
except soil pH value. In all gaps was found significantly lower amount of cellulose
decomposition fungi than in control canopies. In large forest gaps was
found low, and in small forest gap medium soil biogenity. Microbiological
characteristics of soils in beech-fir forests have higher values than in fir with
hard fern forest gaps.


Proportion of deciduous tree species (mountain maple and common beech)
younger than three years was higher in large beech-fir forest gap, while in
small gap was same. In large fir with hard fern forest gap dominate silver fir
plants younger than three years.


According to number of plants younger than three years in forest gaps and
control plots are dominating mountain maple and common beech plants,
while proportion of silver fir plants was small.
