Abstract

Conditions of the rise and development of fire events and evaluation of forest fire statistics are presented for the ribbon-like pineries of the south of Siberia - Tsacucheisky, Balgazynsky, Minusinsky and Shushensky. The consequences of the effect of fire events on vegetation, including the state of tree stands and reafforestation processes, are evaluated. It is demonstrated that a decrease in the area occupied by ribbon-like pineries in the south of Siberia as a result of the impact from crown fire brings about steppe formation processes at these territories
