The aim of this study was to analyse the regeneration of Pinus pinaster after wildfire and the
possible inter and intraspecific competition during the first 3 years after fire. The study area is …

Fire is an ecological factor that has been present in the ecosystems of the Mediterranean
region for thousands of years. Our study was undertaken to acquire knowledge of the effect …

Abstract Background The Mediterranean basin is currently facing major changes in fire
regimes as a result of climate and land-use changes. These alterations could affect the …

The post-fire regenerative ability of Pinus halepensis, Pinus nigra and Pinus sylvestris, three
of the most important pine species present in the West Mediterranean basin, has been …

Fire is one of the most important ecological factors in the Mediterranean forest ecosystems.
Most Mediterranean conifers are obligate seeders after fire. Seeds of two conifers species …

Key message We show that Pinus pinaster provenance affects both seed germination and
seedling recruitment after fire. This information is crucial for managers to select the best …

The effect of fire severity and post-fire management on Pinus pinaster recruitment was
evaluated in three burnt areas in Galicia (NW Spain) exhibiting different levels of serotiny …

Tolerance to high temperatures is an important attribute of seeds of species that inhabit
regions that periodically burn. In some species, seeds not only survive fire, but require a …

Pinus halepensis, a Mediterranean pine tree, is a partially serotinous species: individual
trees of this species carry both non-serotinous and serotinous cones. Serotinous cones …

Question: Is it possible to model the germinative and resprouting behaviour of plant species
in Atlantic shrublands and woodlands in relation to fire intensity? Is it possible to recognise …
