Abstract
From ecological point of view and in the context of historical development process, fires are natural components of Mediterranean type ecosystems, although most of the fires are related to the anthropogenic reasons today. These ecosystems have developed adaptive traits to the fires and have persisted during the development process lasting for hundreds of thousands of years. Several models and hypotheses were developed about the post-fire vegetation dynamics. According to the widely accepted model, Mediterranean type ecosystems is recovered rapidly after fire with the autosuccesion process and are able to be re-formed at the temporal scale. In this sense, post-fire vegetation dynamics of ecosystems in the Mediterranean Basin, one of the regions covered by Mediterranean type ecosystems is the main subject of this review work and their specific characteristics related to fires were assessed. Keywords: Autosuccesion, Ecosystem, Fire, Mediterranean, Vegetation
