We investigated chronological changes in allozyme diversities in Fagus crenata populations by means of size‐class discriminations, using allozyme variations in two transects established in a mixed beech‐oak forest in the Ogawa Forest Preserve. All individuals within transects were divided into six size‐classes based on their diameters: class 0, seedlings; class 1, juveniles <5 mm; class 2, 5 < juveniles < 10 mm; class 3, 10 < juveniles <25 mm; class 4, 25< juveniles <600 mm; class 5, 600 mm
