Understanding long-term post-fire regeneration of a fire-resistant pine species

Key message The long-term effect of forest fires in the regeneration of Pinus canariensis was studied. Forest fires had little long-term effects on seed production, seedling germination and seedling mortality. The characteristics of different forest stands across the island had influence in some of...

Description
Summary:Key message The long-term effect of forest fires in the regeneration of Pinus canariensis was studied. Forest fires had little long-term effects on seed production, seedling germination and seedling mortality. The characteristics of different forest stands across the island had influence in some of the regeneration parameters studied.
