The succession was indirectly concluded on the base of 6 Scots pine stands (6-134 years old), which formed different stages of succession of this forest. The density of mites was the lowest in the 6 year-old Scots pine stand and increased to the 79 year-olds, while in the 134 year-old stand it decreased, probably due to lower production of forest fall. In mite associations the Oribatida predominated, and the next most abundant were the Actinedida. The species number of Oribatida was the lowest in the 6 year-old Scots pine stand, and increased to the 42 year-olds, along with the increasing number of plant species and thickness of forest litter
