Abstract

Fire is one of the effective ecological factors influencing the growth, development and evolution of plant communities especially in arid and semi arid areas. Knowledge of the effects of FIRE on different components of an ecosystem is important for post-fire vegetation management. Changes in vegetation due to FIRE can cause changes in the amounts of SEEDS in the soil. Seed reserves in the soil seed banks play an important role in VEGETATION DYNAMICS after FIRE. In this study, the effects of FIRE on species composition and subsequently on soil seed bank were studied in Bamoo National Park in Shiraz. The study was carried out on two sites (Chah Sorkh and Palayeshgah), each with a control area (unburned) and two burned areas 1-year and 5 years old after FIRE. Soil samples were collected from two soil depths, 0 to 5 cm and 5 to 10 cm. Samples were put in greenhouse for seed germination and seedling identification. A total number of 1747 and 1482 SEEDS/m2 was found in Cah Sorkh and Palayshgah, respectively. About 73% SEEDS in Cah Sorkh and 79% SEEDS in Palayshgah were germinated from upper soil layer (0-5 cm). Most SEEDS in the soil seed bank of two sites belonged to Aegilops triuncialis. Also in both sites Gramineae, Compositae and Papilionaceae were abundant in soil seed bank. FIRE in both sites changed the seed bank composition and density in comparison with control area. There were few species common between burnt areas and control area. Other species were restricted to either burnt or control areas. We also found different specie composition in the soil seed bank of two areas with differing age since FIRE in two sites. Few species were found in both standing vegetation and soil seed bank and most species in vegetation were absent from soil seed bank.
