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. In this study, the effects of fire on species composition and subsequently on soil 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. Each of area was used the three transects. For response of some properties of soil to burning were used of one way ANOVA analysis and multivariate analysis. Results of the analysis in two sites (Chah Sorkh and Palayeshgah) showed that the properties soil, organic matter soil than other soil properties, had been solidarity with the fire area burning.
