In this study, an area occupied by\u00a0<span class=\"html-italic\">A. dealbata<\/span>, located in Casal do Rei (Seia, Portugal) was studied to evaluate the influence of fire in the dispersion of this species, analyzing the historical occurrence of rural fires in the region, as well as through the determination of its annual biomass production and comparing its growth with other species using satellite images.
