Forming of small mammal communities in variously aged fellings of fir and siberian pine forests of Yenisey range is studied in leaved and dark coniferous serals. The new data on the structural changes in communities of the small mammals after fellings is obtained. Forest species are replaced by open space species of phytophagous and insectivorous trophic groups after clear cuts. Forest communities rehabilitate since young stand closing (7-10 years) until pole-stand stage onset (18-20 years). Small mammal communities inhabiting pole-stages stands differ significantly between firs and leaved series, and also from the control dark coniferous forests.
