The aim of the thesis was to evaluate the stand microclimate within fir-beech stand planted in the gap under the adult spruce stand canopy protection at the ecosystem station of Rájec (Drahanská vrchovina Highlands, the Czech Republic) during the growing season (May -- October) in 2014. On the fir-beech stand incident on average for the whole growing season only 11 % of photosynthetically active radiation incident on the adult spruce stand. Values of air temperature were decreasing in the vertical profile of fir-beech stand under the adult spruce stand canopy protection toward to the ground. Air temperature in the height of 2 meters above the ground was lower in the fir-beech stand in the gap compared with the adult spruce stands. The relative air humidity in the height of 2 meters above the ground was higher in the fir-beech stand compared with the adult spruce stands. Total precipitation sum was 447 mm at the ecosystem station of Rájec after the growing season (May -- October) in 2014, which corresponds to the long-term averages for this locality. Different distribution of rainfall during the growing season were found out. Total throughfall sum was higher in fir-beech stand in the gap compared with the throughfall sum in the adult spruce stand -- the difference was almost 17 %. Analysis of the stand microclimate within the fir-beech stand under the adult spruce stand canopy protection showed that conversion of forest monoculture on the forest close to the nature by the trees planting in forest gaps is useful due to appropriate light and moisture conditions in the gap.
