Abstract

The dynamic of bryophytic vegetation was followed during one year (1989) in five zones which had suffered forest fires. These zones are situated in the Valley of the River Tus, Albacete (Spain), a climatically and edaphically homogeneous area which had one terricolous bryophytic community dominant before the fires. In each zone, 10 squares of 1 m2 (plots) were selected and bryophytic releves carried out during the whole year. In addition soil samples were taken from each plot and from zones unaffected by fire, very close to the above, serving as control. The pH, percentage of organic matter, total nitrogen and C/N ratio were measured. A correlation analysis time-edaphic factors has been assayed and a high degree of correlation between time elapsed after fire and pHs values is registered. A correspondence analysis in order to separate groups of species was made, and three populations of bryophytes are characterized.
