Barna Institute of Forest Ecology Slovak Academy of Sciences Zvolen Slovakia ABSTRACT The paper summarizes the results of 15-year natural regeneration for beech of five plots with different densities situated in the Western Carpathians Mts. Three of the plots were subjected to differently intensive shelterwood cuttings plots L M H one plot was clear-cut CC and one was left without intervention - as a control C . The number of one-year-old seedlings decreased proportionally with increasing cutting intensity. The ANOVA results document a significant influence of cutting intensity on the abundance of both one-year-old and older seedlings. The abundance of beech seedlings was initially increasing with increasing cutting intensity and having reached the peak on plot M medium intensity there followed a decrease in the seedling abundance. Lower numbers of beech seedlings on plots subjected to less intensive cutting C L result from less favourable growth conditions in comparison with plot M. On the other hand cutting of higher intensity H CC resulted in lower numbers of fructifying parent trees. The medium cut intervention having provided the plot M with stocking of 50 of the stand resulted in a lower number of seed resources limiting factor for natural regeneration . However for the other factor - seedling establishment survival and recruitment this plot M represents an ecological optimum in beech regeneration in the given conditions.
