2021年8月20日 · As of early spring, wildfires have been surging through the taiga forest in Siberia. The region hardest hit was the Republic of Sakha in northeastern Russia. Also known as Yakutia, the area had...

Mainly low-intensity surface fires occur in larch forests, whereas in evergreen forests both surface and crown fires are observed. Warming has led to an increase in the frequency and area of wildfires that have reached the Arctic Ocean shore.

2021年1月29日 · The majority of area burned by wildfire are located in Siberia. Mainly low-intensity surface fires occur in larch forests, whereas in evergreen forests both surface and crown fires are observed. Warming has led to an increase in the frequency and area of wildfires that have reached the Arctic Ocean shore.

2021年8月12日 · YAKUTSK, Russia -- Gigantic wildfires are burning across Siberia on a record scale that is larger than all the fires raging this summer around the world combined. The massive blazes in Russia are fueled in part by extreme heat waves and record droughts that scientists are blaming on warmer temperatures linked to climate change.

2020年12月29日 · Forest fires have always been around in Siberia, but their frequency and area have increased in the 21st century: in some years, the areas traversed by flame reached 10 to 12 million hectares. Catastrophic fires like that did occur in the past (in 1915, e. g., fires in Siberian taiga burned 12 million hectares) but much less frequently.

2010年12月24日 · During the drought in the Volga region in 1921, the forests were on fire from spring to late autumn and destroyed 300,000 hectares of forests and 60 settlements. In 1972, forest and peat fires covered 1.8 million hectares. In …

2024年9月11日 · The 2003 Siberian Taiga Fires were some of the largest and most destructive wildfires in modern history. They burned across vast swathes of the Siberian taiga, the world’s largest forested region, located in Russia. These fires were particularly devastating due to their size, duration, and environmental impact.

2021年1月29日 · However, wildfires are the most important factor in taiga dynamics; larch and Scots pine have evolved under conditions of periodic forest fires, thereby gaining a competitive advantage over...

However, wildfires are the most important factor in taiga dynamics; larch and Scots pine have evolved under conditions of periodic forest fires, thereby gaining a competitive advantage over non-fire adapted species; in the permafrost zone, periodic fires are a prerequisite for the dominance of larch.

2022年1月18日 · To better understand wildfire dynamics over the last 20 years in this region, we mapped area burned, generated a fire perimeter database, and characterized fire regimes across eight ecozones spanning 7.8 million km 2 of eastern Siberian taiga and tundra from ∼61–72.5° N and 100° E–176° W using long-term satellite data from Landsat, processed via...
