Pines and oaks in the restoration of Mediterranean landscapes of Spain: new perspectives for an old practice—a review
Pines have been extensively used for land restoration in the Mediterranean basin and in
other parts of the world, since the late 19 th century. The theoretical basis supporting pine …

Satellite evidence of decreasing resilience in Mediterranean plant communities after recurrent wildfires
Vegetation recovery from fire has been widely studied at the stand level in many types of
terrestrial ecosystems, but factors controlling regeneration at the landscape scale are less …

Fire as a selective agent for both serotiny and nonserotiny over space and time
Serotiny is the prolonged storage of seeds in closed cones or fruits held within the crown of
woody plants. It is widespread throughout fireprone vegetation with a predominantly winter …

Fire‐induced deforestation in drought‐prone Mediterranean forests: drivers and unknowns from leaves to communities
Over the past 15 years, 3 million hectares of forests have been converted into shrublands or
grasslands in the Mediterranean countries of the European Union. Fire and drought are the …

Reproductive traits of Pinus halepensis in the light of fire – a critical review
G Ne'eman, S Goubitz, R Nathan - Plant Ecology, 2004 - Springer
Fire is known to be a major factor in sha** plants and vegetation worldwide. Many plant
traits have been described as adaptations for surviving fire, or regenerating after it. However …

The role of fire frequency and severity on the regeneration of Mediterranean serotinous pines under different environmental conditions
Fire frequency and burn severity may increase in pine forests in the Mediterranean Basin
under the warmer and drier climate projected for this region. Our study aims to evaluate the …

Burning seeds: germinative response to heat treatments in relation to resprouting ability
Summary 1 In Mediterranean fire‐prone ecosystems, plant species persist and regenerate
after fire by resprouting, by recruiting new individuals from a seed bank (post‐fire seeding) …

Post-fire natural regeneration of a Pinus pinaster forest in NW Spain
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 …

Regeneration patterns of three Mediterranean pines and forest changes after a large wildfire in northeastern Spain
Fire has favored pines throughout their natural range in environments subject to continuous
disturbances, such as the Mediterranean Basin. However, recovery of pine species after …
