The paper deals with a successional development of a forest in a forest reserve of the Mozirje požganija (The Mozirje fire site). Based on the forest analysis carried out in 1988 and a comparison with the research performed in the last forty years, it gives the directions and the rates of the vegetation succession changes. Developmental processes are fast and variegated due to the pioneer character of the young wood. Interminglement of small areas of various succession stages gives the forest a heterogeneous appearance. Diversity of developmental processes and forest structure represent a nature's attempt to preserve and develop the life in extreme conditions, present in a fire site.
