Abstract: Post-fire recovery of a Pinus brutia Ten. forest on ophiolithic rocks was studied in Marmaris National Park, southwestern Turkey. Three study sites burned in different years (1999, 1995 and 1979) and a study site not burned for at least 45 years were studied from September 2000-2001. Although some opportunistic species had established in one-year-old site, species composition had been recovered again in older sites. Change in the plant species cover during early post-fire succession was basically different between seeders and resprouters; cover of the seeders increased, but that of resprouters did not change. Post-fire growing line of P. brutia individuals during 22 year period was fitted to a linear regression model (r2 = 0.9995, p<0.001). In conclusion, post-fire regeneration of P. brutia forests on ophiolithic rocks in Marmaris National Park fits to the general autosuccessional model in Mediterranean Basin and fire is a complementary element for these forest ecosystems.
