Annotation	The aim of the study was to assess efficiency of the extensive reductions of herbivore populations for protection of forest regeneration in preferred areas. We analyzed the relationship between intensity of shoot browsing and relative density of herbivores in viewpoint of natural regeneration of secondary mountain spruce stands with low proportion of broadleaved trees in Králický Sněžník Reserve (Czech Republic). Density of red deer was re-counted from the number of pellet groups and it was 15 – 56 ind./km². The intensity of spruce browsing was low in the whole area in all seasons. The intensity of rowan and beech shoot browsing was high in the whole area in general. There were no correlations between deer density and browsing intensity of rowan (browsing was severe in all plots).
