Abstract
In the present paper, changes in grazing value of colonizing vegetation in a burnt area in the southwestern Albacete were studied. A diacrhonyc study was employed in order to measure the cover of colonizing vegetation during the first five years after fire. The results pointed out the importance of colonizing plant communities as pasture, due to the presence of many herbaceous species having a high grazing value. The reduction of herbaceous species number and their cover from the third post-fire year, gave an ephemeral nature to this grazing resourcer. In the last of study, woody species with a low grazing value were the predominant species.Downloads
