ilex subsp. ballota) DE MONTE BAJO TRAS DISTINTAS INTENSIDADES DE RESALVEO SEIS AÑOS DESPUÉS DEL FUEGO. RESULTADOS PRELIMINARES

In a post-fire coppice forest of Quercus ilex different thinning intensities (0%, 53%, 88% and 100%) were carried out in order to evaluate their effects on the dynamic of the forest. The following spring after treatments, there were not significative differences for no thinning intensity on diameter relative growth but, on the contrary, there were differences for height relative growth between control plots and 88% thinning intensity. The higher resprouting percentage is reached for the treatment of 88% thinning intensity, while the lowest is registered in the control plots. Finally, the specific leaf area is higher for resprouters in control plots than in the treated ones. K.W.:
