Gradients in soil moisture, texture, nutrient state and spacing patterns enable us to divide stands into separate substands, which have their own tree species composition and structures. Nevertheless, such a separation is just the beginning of a set of conclusions and observations. It is based upon differences in flora and chemical characteristics. As a matter of fact, every separate sub stand has its own microclimate in which a well defined complex of environmental variables regulates regeneration, flora presence and leaf decomposition. The results of such an intensive research should lead to the improvement of the stand tending.
