Fires in the pine forests of Middle Siberia make a substantial contribution into carbon resources. The emission value is essentially affected by the intensity of forest fires, types of vegetation, and the conditions existing at the grow sites. During extremal fire-risk seasons, emissions from forest fires can increase several times. The duration of an average interval between fires decreases from the north to the south and is determined by the latitude and by the degree of landscape apartness, as well as by the anthropogenic load.
