We show that the knowledge of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann maps given on an arbitrary open non-empty portion of the boundary of a smooth domain in $\mathbb{R}^n$, $n\ge 2$, for classes of semilinear and quasilinear conductivity equations, determines the nonlinear conductivities uniquely. The main ingredient in the proof is a certain $L^1$-density result involving sums of products of gradients of harmonic functions which vanish on a closed proper subset of the boundary.
