“…Natural regeneration of P. brutia seems to be enhanced by a number of adaptations to fire. Several authors agree on describing post-fire height growth, in up to 22-year-old stands of P. brutia, as a linear regression model (Spanos et al 2000;Tavşanoğlu and Gürkan 2009). The dominant height development obtained in Syria (Fig.…”

“…Pure natural stands of Calabrian pine are mostly found in fire prone areas in Turkey and usually originate from high-intensity, stand-replacing fires (Turna & Bilgili 2006). Most fires occur in pure or mixed Calabrian pine stands, often leading to the loss of goods, services, resources and even lives in Turkey (Tavsanoglu & Gürkan 2009).…”

This study presents a dynamic model for the prediction of diurnal changes in the moisture content of dead surface fuels in normally stocked Calabrian pine stands under varying weather conditions. The model was developed based on several empirical relationships between moisture contents of dead surface fuels and weather variables, and calibrated using field data collected from three Calabrian stands from three different regions of Turkey (Mugla, southwest; Antalya, south; Trabzon, north-east). The model was tested and validated with independent measurements of fuel moisture from two sets of field observations made during dry and rainy periods. Model predictions showed a mean absolute error (MAE) of 1.19% for litter and 0.90% for duff at Mugla, and 3.62% for litter and 14.38% for duff at Antalya. When two rainy periods were excluded from the analysis at Antalya site, the MAE decreased from 14.38% to 4.29% and R 2 increased from 0.25 to 0.83 for duff fuels. Graphical inspection and statistical validation of the model indicated that the diurnal litter and duff moisture dynamics could be predicted reasonably. The model can easily be adapted for other similar fuel types in the Mediterranean region.

“…It is worth noting that most plant communities can regenerate in a short period (5-20 years) after fires in the Mediterranean basin (Trabaud, 1994;Tavsanoglou and Gürcan, 2009). As Lavorel, (1999) indicates, most of the species found in pre-fire communities emerge in the early post-fire years and the ecosystem returns to its initial vegetation structure.…”

In this study, the post-fire regeneration of three coniferous species (Pinus brutia, Cupressus sempervirens and Cupressus arizonica) was examined in the peri-urban forest of Thessaloniki, Northern Greece. The wildfire took place in July 1997 and burned almost 60% of the forest vegetation. During the autumn of 2010, 34 experimental plots were established in all aspects within the burned area. In each experimental plot the following measurements were carried out: height, diameter at breast height and crown projection in two perpendicular diameters. The results show that the Pinus brutia individuals, most of which came from natural regeneration, presented the best growth, in relation to the two other species in all aspects. As for Cupressus sempervirens, equal parts of which came from natural and artificial regeneration was characterized by remarkable growth especially in the Northeastern aspect. Finally, Cupressus arizonica existed in all aspects except the Northeastern. It also presented a satisfactory development, especially on the Southern aspect. Fourteen years after the fire pure or mixed stands of the above mentioned species show vigorous growth and good stem quality. Finally, the rates of participation of individual forest species indicate that the restoration has been achieved mainly by natural regeneration.
