Plant Succession in Post Fire Communities of [i]Pinus nigra[/i] Arn.
Journal Title: Ecologia Balkanica - Year 2014, Vol 5, Issue 0
Abstract
Fires around settlements are а logical consequence of climate drought and the increased human activity today. Plant communities with specific composition and structure are formed on burned areas. This study aims to analyze the floristic composition on three of the after- fire communities, occurring at different times in the Stara Zagora green shelter belt. Analysis of Raunkiaer life forms is made, and the degree of canopy cover is calculated on Braun Blanquet. The results allow predicting the development of secondary plant succession on burned areas.
