Fire is an important factor in the evolution and ecology of Mediterranean plant species. The fire frequency has increased in the 20st century. Pines are the most important tree species in the area. Pinus halepensis is the only natural pine in parts of the east Mediterranean basin, such as Israel and Jordan. This pine tree is a monoecious, wind-pollinated tree. Pinus halepensis regenerates in absence of fire as well as after fire, because it is a partially serotinous species. This study aims to explore the reproductive cycle of P. halepensis in relation to fire. Reproductive processes such as seed and pollen production, cone abortion, level of serotiny and germination are examined. These reproductive processes are related to inherent plant factors such as size, as well as to influences from the environment, especially the presence or absence of fire
