Quercus pyrenaica is a widely distributed oak species in the Iberian Peninsula which has been subjected to drastic disturbances, such as fire, leading to a significant decrease in its cover. The main objective of this study was to carry out a comparative analysis of the post-fire regeneration of two Quercus pyrenaica ecosystems. Prior to being burned by a wildfire at the end of the summer in 1985, the first ecosystem presented a developed tree layer, whereas the second one was in a shrub layer stage. In each ecosystem a permanent plot was established and sampled for a period of 6 years after the disturbance. Colonisation rates of different biological types were estimated, as well as the structural parameters defining the community: species diversity, richness and evenness. These results allowed us to determine a post-fire successional model for these ecosystems. Post-fire species composition of the two sites was similar, but abundance of particular species varied as a function of pre-fire abundance
