El papel de la regeneración natural en la restauración tras grandes incendios forestales : el caso del pino negral

Wildfires are a common disturbance in Mediterranean ecosystems with important socioeconomical and environmental impacts. In addition, future effects promoted by climate change could increase severity levels and fire frequency of wildfires. Mega-fires which affect large areas are a challenge for forest managers and decision support tools to restore affected ecosystems are needed. Present work describes the results of some research projects carried out in Pinus pinaster stands. Recommendations and some solutions related to post-fire management are proposed.
