Ionization sources in the nighttime polar ionosphere are investigated on the basis of simultaneous measurements of electron density and fluxes of precipitating protons and electrons. The rates of ion production by high-energy protons (of the order of 100 keV) and electrons (of the order of 10 keV) are calculated. At the maximum of the development of an intense magnetospheric substorm in the morning sector of the auroral zone, the main ionization was produced by precipitating electrons. At the substorm recovery phase, the ionization by precipitating protons was comparable and sometimes even exceeded ionization by electrons. In this situation, proton precipitations could lead to the formation of an additional electron-density maximum in the upper E-region at heights of about 130 km.
