Recent studies based on inventory data indicate that <em class=\"EmphasisTypeItalic \">A. alba<\/em> more readily regenerates in mixed stands than in monospecific stands. The objective was to examine how this positive association evidenced at the stand level operates on the scale of microsites with contrasting local species composition and stand density. In 8 monospecific and 22 mixed stands with <em class=\"EmphasisTypeItalic \">Fagus sylvatica<\/em> L. or <em class=\"EmphasisTypeItalic \">Picea abies<\/em> L. (H. Karst), microsites with a contrasting density of <em class=\"EmphasisTypeItalic \">A. alba<\/em> seedlings were selected and compared in terms of local species composition, stand density, canopy characteristics and topsoil properties. In <em class=\"EmphasisTypeItalic \">A. alba<\/em> stands, seedling density was positively associated with the proximity of adult trees. In mixed stands of <em class=\"EmphasisTypeItalic \">A. alba<\/em> and <em class=\"EmphasisTypeItalic \">P. abies<\/em>, adult trees of both species exerted a positive effect on <em class=\"EmphasisTypeItalic \">A. alba<\/em> regeneration, but the <em class=\"EmphasisTypeItalic \">P. abies<\/em> neighbourhood influenced regeneration occurrence more strongly than the <em class=\"EmphasisTypeItalic \">A. abies<\/em> neighbourhood. In mixtures with <em class=\"EmphasisTypeItalic \">F. sylvatica<\/em>, however, the effect of local stand density and local species composition was not evidenced at all.Although at the stand level, <em class=\"EmphasisTypeItalic \">P. abies<\/em> and <em class=\"EmphasisTypeItalic \">F. sylvatica<\/em> exert a positive effect on <em class=\"EmphasisTypeItalic \">A. alba<\/em> regeneration, on the microsite scale, their influences differ. In stands with a dominance of <em class=\"EmphasisTypeItalic \">A. alba<\/em>, the hampered seedling establishment in gaps may be considered an inhibitive effect that facilitates the emergence of other species.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class='altmetric-embed' data-badge-type='donut' data-doi='10.1007\/s13595-016-0573-2'  style='float: right; ' ><\/div>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000080\"><a style=\"color: #000080\" href=\"http:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1007\/s13595-016-0573-2\" target=\"_blank\">Read the full paper<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000\"><strong>Publication<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Paluch JG, Ko\u0142odziej Z, Skrzyszewski J, Bartkowicz L, Gruba P 2016.
