The research was conducted in beech−fir and beech stands in the territory of the Babiogórski and Ojcowski national parks. The obtained results showed that the density of seedlings after the autumn seed fall was small. The seed fraction from which seedlings emerged did not exceed 8%. In the Babiogórski National Park, no spatial relationship was found between seed and seedling abundance. However, such relationship was found in beech and sycamore in the Ojcowski National Park during one season. This was associated with a lower density of seed predating rodents in the forests around Ojców than on the Babia Góra and the specificity of the environmental providing a wide variety of living conditions for small mammals.
