Abstract: The investigations carried out in 1988 and 1998 on three permanent sample plots in stands of the East Carpathian beech forest (Dentario glandulosae-Fagetum) showed that in the growing up stage, the storeyed structure phase (Jawornik I stand), the stand volume increased from 547 m3/ha to 578 m3/ha while in the optimum stage, the ageing and regeneration phases (Jawornik II), it decreased from 631 m3/ha to 600 m3/ha, and in the growing up stage, the storeyed structure phase (Tworylczyk), from 611 m3/ha to 610 m3/ha. In all three stands beech dominated in the upgrowth. During the 10-year period the volume of dead trees (standing and lying ones) increased in Jawornik II and Tworylczyk stands while in Jawornik I stand it decreased. The beech stands of the Bieszczady Mountains have a largely differentiated structure, from one-storey structure in the optimum stage, the ageing phase to many-storeyed structure in the growing up stage. This creates an opportunity for forming the complex stand structure, also the selection forest structure, in managed beech forests of the Carpathians.
