Resum
In the summer of 2012, two fires affected Mediterranean ecosystems in the eastern Iberian Peninsula.
The size of these fires was at the extreme of the historical variability (megafires). Animals are
traditionally assumed to recolonize from source populations outside of the burned area (exogenous
regeneration) while plants recover from endogenous regeneration (resprouting and seeding). However,
there is increasing evidence of in situ fire survival in animals. To evaluate the effect of large-scale fires
on biodiversity and the mechanism of recovery, in 2013, we set up 12 plots per fire, covering burned
vegetation at different distances from the fire perimeter and unburned vegetation. In each plot, we
followed the postfire recovery of arthropods, reptiles (including some of their parasites), and plants for
2 to 5 years. Here we present the resulting database (POSTDIV) of taxon abundance. POSTDIV totals
19,906 records for 457 arthropod taxa (113,681 individuals), 12 reptile taxa (503 individuals), 4 reptile
parasites (234 individuals), and 518 plant taxa (cover-abundance). We provide examples in the R language
to query the database.
