Sclerophyllous scrub formations, the main vegetation type in many islands of the Aegean
area, provide many goods and services to humans, such as biodiversity, soil protection, and …

The role of smoke as a fire-related germination cue is well known in many parts of the world,
including Mediterranean-type ecosystems; however, it has been neglected in the …

Regeneration mode is one of the key attributes determining population structure and
dynamics of plant species. We investigated long-term patterns after fire in the cover of plant …

We studied post-fire long-term regeneration of a south-western Turkey (Antalya region)
forest using the synchronical approach. We analysed species richness patterns and …

Heat shock-stimulated germination is frequently considered a trait restricted to a few plant
families with impermeable seed coats in the Mediterranean Basin. We aimed to ascertain …

In fire-prone environments, studying the variability of regeneration traits is important to show
the potential of plant species to survive under consecutive post-fire and fire-free conditions …

Les paysages de la région méditerranéenne sont façonnés par l'action de feux récurrents.
Cette perturbation est considérée comme une force écologique naturelle contre laquelle les …

The effect of experimental disturbances on the dynamics of a shrub community was studied
on a 'Montado'ecosystem, in southern Portugal. The evolution of the community …

Fire is a natural phenomenon that is very frequent in ecosystems of the Mediterranean
basin. Cistus ladanifer and C. salvifolius (Cistaceae family) are evergreen shrubs and …

This study investigated the relationship between fire-related cues (heat shock and smoke)
and the germination behaviour of Cistus creticus (Cistaceae) seeds under laboratory …
