AB [EN] Knowledge of the regeneration of competing shrub species after wildfire in Scots pine stands is essential for the regeneration of this tree species. The germination capability of seeds is modified by the temperature reached during a fire and the length of time that seeds are subjected to high temperatures. The probability of germination was studied in the laboratory for Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) and four shrub species characteristic of the understory in Scots pine stands in northern Spain (Cistus laurifolius, Halimium umbellatum, Halimium alyssoides and Genista florida). Germination probability was studied with a logistic model that uses duration of exposure to the fire, the temperature and the interaction of both as independent variables. Results show a higher germination rate in shrub species at high temperature than for Scots pine. Thus by limiting competition between Scots pine and understory species, using prescribed burning or mechanical site preparation, Scots pine can regenerate successfully and quickly. This model can aid management decisions in this area
