Description
Poster apresentado na IUFRO Conference - Mixed and Pure Forests in a Changing World, que decorreu de 6 a 8 de Outubro de 2010, na Universidade de Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro, em Vila Real. 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).
