The investigated samples were occupied by 52 species of gamasid mites. Intensive settlement of the forest litter by these mites was recorded in the autumn periods and it decreased in spring and summer. In the successive periods of the growing season, there followed great changes in the structure of species domination. A high number and domination of Asca aphidioides and Holaspina ochraceus were found in autumn, while in spring and summer these indices decreased. On the other hand, an increase of the number in the spring and summer periods was observed by Parasitus sp. 1, Hypoaspis vacua, Asca sculptrata, Veigaia tibbetis and Zercon szeptyckii. The chi**2 analysis revealed a positive connection of Asca sculptrata, Lasioseius sp. 1, and Dendrolaelaps fukikoae with the microhabitat of the south-facing slope, while Parasitus sp. 1 was connected with the microhabitat of the north-facing slope
