This study relates the spatial variability in tree regeneration generated by fire with topography and pre-fire vegetation composition, analyses how pattern of severities determines post-fire dominant species (Pinus halepensis Quercus ilex) a large that occurred north-eastern Spain summer 1994. At level, proportion different burned area was characteristic fires burn high severity. level plot, severity site depended on two topographic characteristics: elevation aspect. Plots were distributed...
Prescribed fire is one of the most widely-used management tools to recover encroached rangelands. Fire has been reported cause changes in soil physical and chemical properties. However, legacy effects former plant species on responses remains unknown. The effect extant carbon (C) nitrogen (N) fractionation distribution after prescribed burning topsoil (0–5 cm 5–10 cm) was investigated Mediterranean shrublands Montseny. We sampled soils under five vegetation patch types: Cytisus scoparius L.,...
In the present study, we analyse spatiotemporal patterns of seed predation and consequences this in establishment new Pinus halepensis individuals. Rodents were main predators P. seeds burned areas, while by ants was considerably lower. Concerning predation, results obtained indicate that, although there some small differences among distances or seasons, removal consistently very high all situations, whether close to far from unburned margins, pine mixed forests, different sites sampling...
During the second half of 20th century, European countries experienced an increase in their forest area due to global change. Consequently, there has been large fires, mainly Mediterranean basin, and this forced development several types prevention programs. One them is control understory by livestock. In sense, browsing with a combination donkeys goats could be good option, as both animals usually feed on species. However, little known about preferences for key species forest. Using...
