Abstract(s)

Pure, naturally regenerated, maritime pine stands dominate the forest scenario of centre inland of Portugal, resulting in an high fire risk mostly due to the absence of management (vertical and horizontal continuity of fuel). In this study, the working hypothesis was that natural regeneration in burned areas of maritime pine stands will be suppressed after more than one fire cycle shorter then 20 years, since seed production became viable only when stand age reaches 20 years old (Oliveira et al., 1990).
