We studied the floristic changes in Quercus coccifera macchia after a fire that occurred in 1986. Floristic changes in the study area were observed during the first five years and the fourteenth year after the fire. Most of the pre-fire species (98.6%) returned back within the first three years after the fire. In the fifth year, the species similarity in the hurried and unburned areas was 93.8%, and the vegetation nearly reached the pre-fire physiognomy. At the end of the fourteenth year, no significant differences in terms of floristic composition and physiognomy were observed.
