CCatalonia Espelta, J. M., and A. Rodrigo (anselm.rodrigo@uab.es) - Central Catalonia (NE Spain). Climate in this area is subhumid Mediterranean (according on Thornwaite index). Two parts could be differenced according on temperature and precipitation. Inland part varies from dry-subhumid to subhumid Mediterranean, with mean annual temperature between 10-13 ºC and mean annual precipitation between 550-900 mm. The area closest to the coast has temperatures higher, between 13-16 ºC and mean annual preciptiation between 600-750 mm. Four large wildfires occurred recently, three in 1994 and one in 1998 (one of them).

Cuenca Luna B., and J. M. Moreno (Belen.Luna@uclm.es) - Cuenca (central Spain; 1º20´-1º35´W and 39º45´-39º-54´N). Altitude ranges between 900-1400 m. Climate is tipically Mediterranean, with an annual mean temperature of 11.5-12.5 ºC and the total rainfall 400-600 mm. A naturally ignited large fire took place during July 1994, affecting Pinus pinaster, P. halepensis and P. nigra woodland, shrublands and woody crops. It seems that no important fires have occurred in the area since 1956.

Gibraltar Ojeda, F. (fernando.ojeda@uca.es) - North side of the Strait of Gibraltar (S Spain). Ca. 3000 Km2 area, mainly on Oligo-Miocene sandstone mountains dominated by evergreen Quercus suber woodlands, open heathlands become abundant on summits and exposed ridges and semideciduous Quercus canariensis forests occupy valley bottoms (Ojeda1996a). Mild Mediterranean climate (oceanica influence and frequent humid easterly winds; Ibarra 1993). Mean annual rainfall 600-1700 mm (locally, up to 2200 mm). Mean fire return interval is 20-25 years (locally up to 5 years). Most data on heathland species come from specific experimental studies carried out in Sierra del Niño and Monte Murta.

Marmaris Tavsanoglu, Ç. (ctavsan@hacettepe.edu.tr) - Marmaris region, southwestern Anatolia, Turkey. The study sites are on ophiolithic rocks (serpentine area). Altitude ranges from sea level up to 300 m. Climate is a typical Mediterranean, with wet winters and dry summers. Mean annual temperature is 18.7 ºC, and mean annual precipitation is 1211.7 mm. Mean precipitation during the dry period from May to September is only 56.8 mm. Original dominant vegetation is Pinus brutia Ten. forests. Evergreen shrubs and phyrgana subshrubs are found at the understory of these forests. The area subjected to frequent fires in recent 30 years, constituting a fire mosaic with nearby areas burned in different years.

Murcia Buhk, C. (buhk@uni-trier.de) - Murcia (SE Spain). Coastal area (50-200 m a.s.l.; ca. 300 ha) and mountainous zone not so far from the coast (500-1000 m a.s.l.; ca. 400 ha). In the coast, mean annual temperature of 18°C, minimal temperatures above 0 °C, and a mean annual rainfall of about 300 mm. In the mountainous area mean annual temperature is 14-16 ºC and a mean annual precipitation 350-600 mm. Most of the annual total precipitation occurs in autumn and spring; the summer months are almost without rain. None of the investigated fire sites had been burnt already before as far as fire statistics reach. Estimated fire return intervals to be above 50 years, perhaps even longer (200-500 years). In the mountainous zone, this is certainly the case at south-facing slopes, where vegetation is very patchy but fires might be more frequent in the densely vegetated pine stands facing north. The data was gained from various fire sites and surrounding unburnt vegetation in the area. Traits refer to the whole study area as long as the species occured in several sites.

Portugal Fernandes, P. (pfern@utad.pt) - Northern and Central Portugal mountains. Above 400 m elevation. Communities dominated by Erica umbellata and Pterospartium tridentatum are quite important in the landscape and occupy poor, acidic, siliceous soils. They are also prevalent in the understorey of pine forests and occur with various degrees of importance in Ulex shrubland and other types of heathland. Data of Quercus suber collected in Q. suber stands (never exploited for cork) with a Cistus ladanifer dominated understorey. Sub-atlantic and Mediterranean-Iberian-Atlantic, annual rainfall >700 mm, mean annual temperature 10-16 ºC. Meso-Mediterranean and supra-Mediterranean zones. Mean fire size in shrub-dominated landscapes is 7 ha, fire density is 0.45/km2/year. Fire return interval typically varies in the range of 5-20 years. Where grazing pressure is higher fire returns every 3-5 years (approximatelly 5% of the landscape), Erica umbellata declines and herbs increase. Prevailing season of the fires: July-October and February-April.

Salamanca Fernández-Santos, B. (belenfs@usal.es) - Various sites with matorral in the province of Salamanca. (1) Above 1400 m. Cytisus balansae forming dense monospecific stands occuping vast areas. The climate is Mediterranean mountainous, hyperhumid and cold. The soils overlay granitic bedrock and are shallow and acid. Traditionally the matorral is periodically burned (now every 5-8 years) in order to facilitate the growth of grasses. The mainly study area is Sierra de Bejar (W of Central System). (2) Various sites with matorral dominated by Cytisus multiflorus, mainly in the NW of the provice. Climate is subhumid Mediterranean, with mean annual precipitation between 600-750 mm and a pronounced summer drought. Soils are sandy and acid. These areas are extensive open holm-oak woodlands and set-aside agricultural land, where C. multiflorus constitutes monospecific matorral formations. The matorral is periodically burned, every 6-10 yr. Altitude ranges from 680 to 850m a.s.l. (3) Climate is humid Mediterranean, with mean annual precipitation >1000 mm and a pronounced summer drought. Soils are sandy and acid. These areas are extensive open oak woodlands, with matorral species. The matorral is frequently burned. Altitude ranges from 800 to 1200 m a.s.l.

Valencia Pausas J. G., and S. Paula (juli.g.pausas@uv.es) - Valencia (E Spain). Mainly lowland communities (avoiding top mountains, etc). Mediterranean climate with two main distinctive bioclimatic zones: a thermo-Mediterranean zone right next to the coast (mean annual temperature: 17-19 ºC; vegetative period: 12 months) and a meso-Mediterranean zone a bit inland (mean annual temperature 13-17 ºC; vegetative period: 9 - 11 months). The precipitation regime is mainly dry (annual precipitation from 350 to 600 mm) with precipitation concentrated (>60%) in spring and autumn. About 55% of the forest landscape did not burn during this period 1978 and 2001, ca 30% burned once only, 14% burned twice, and very small areas burnt 3 or more times. About 11% of the forest land has suffered recurrent fires with fire intervals shorter than 15 years (in the last 23 years; Pausas and Abdel Malak 2004).
