AB The objective of this study is to know the response to fire of themain members of the group of serpentine plants, which habit the Spanish Mediterranean ultramafic mountain, to help intheir management. For this purpose, monitoring plots were established on a burned ultramafic outcrop, which wasaffected by fire in August 2012.They were located in the Mediterranean south of the Iberian Peninsula, Andalusia region.The dominant vegetation of this serpentine ecosystem had been studied previously to fire; it was a shrubland composedof endemic serpentinophytes (small shrubs and perennial herbs) included in Digitali laciniatae-Halimietum atriplicifoliiplant association (Cisto-Lavanduletea class) in an opened pine forest. The post-fire response of the plants was studied inthe stablished burned plots by field works through permanent 200 x 10 m transect methods, consisting on checkingwhether they were resprouters, seeders, both of them or if they showed no survival response. Additional informationabout fire related functional traits is provided for the studied taxa from other studies. Of the total of plants studied (23taxa), 74% acted as resprouters, 30% as seeders, some of which also had the capacity to resprout (13%), and only 9% ofthe plants did not show any survival strategy. The presence of a resprouting burl was not high (17%), althoughserpentine small shrubs such as Bupleurum acutifolium and the generalist Teucrium haenseleri had this kind of organ.The herbaceous taxa Sanguisorba verrucosa, Galium boissieranum and Linum carratracense were seen to be resproutersand seeders. The serpentine obligated Ni-accumulator, Alyssum serpyllifolium subsp. malacitanum, did not show anysurvival strategy in the face of fire and therefore their populations need monitoring after fires.
