Wildfire number and burned area temporal dynamics within all of Siberia along a south-north transect in central (45°–73° N) were studied based on NOAA/AVHRR (National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration/ Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer) Terra/MODIS (Moderate Imaging Spectroradiometer) data field measurements for the period 1996–2015. In addition, fire return interval (FRI) was analyzed. Both forest fires size increased during recent decades (p < 0.05). Significant correlations...

Wildfires are increasingly understood as an ecological driver within the entire Arctic biome. soils naturally store large quantities of C, peat has formed throughout Holocene. For Siberian Arctic, we used observations from MODIS remote sensing instrument to document changes in frequency, geographic extent, and seasonal timing wildfires well vegetation productivity (GPP, NPP, EVI). We also correlation regression analysis identify environmental factors temperature, precipitation, lightning...

The boreal forest accounts for one-third of global forests, but remains largely inaccessible to ground-based measurements and monitoring. It contains large quantities carbon in its vegetation soils, research suggests that it will be subject increasingly severe climate-driven disturbance. We employ a suite ground-, airborne- space-based measurement techniques derive the first satellite LiDAR-based estimates aboveground entire circumboreal biome. Incorporating these inventory with uncertainty...

The fire history of the northern larch forests within permafrost zone in a portion Siberia (∼66°N, 100°E) was studied. Since there is little to no human activity this area, fires study area were mostly caused by lightning. Fire return intervals (FRI) estimated on basis burn marks tree stems and dates natality. FRI values varied from 130 350 yr with 200 ± 50 mean. For southerly dominated communities, found be shorter (77 20 at ∼ 61°N, 82 7 64°N), it longer boundary (∼71°) stands (320 yr)....

Abstract. The northern Eurasian regions and Arctic Ocean will very likely undergo substantial changes during the next decades. Arctic–boreal natural environments play a crucial role in global climate via albedo change, carbon sources sinks as well atmospheric aerosol production from biogenic volatile organic compounds. Furthermore, it is expected that trade activities, demographic movement, use of resources be increasing regions. There need for novel research approach, which not only...

Abstract Aim An increase in conifer mortality has been observed widely across the boreal forest biome. We investigate causes of this mortality, addition to geospatial and temporal dynamics Siberian pine fir stands. Location Central Siberia. Time period 1950–2018. Major taxa studied Pinus sibirica Du Tour Abies Ledeb. Methods used analysis satellite‐derived (MODIS, Landsat) data, topography (elevation, slope steepness exposure) climatic variables [precipitation, thermal degree days (TDD = ∑(...

Abstract A warming climate provides competitive advantages to Siberian pine (Pinus sibirica Du Tour) in areas with sufficient precipitation. The warmer temperatures observed central Siberia over the past three decades appear have had a noticeable effect on growth of and larch (Larix Ledeb.) south Mountain forest–tundra ecotone. Larch is more tolerant harsh climates exhibits an arboreal form, whereas krummholz form. also has advantage at upper tree limit low Since mid-1980s there been...
