Trends in post-fire development of pine stands in Rivne region, Ukraine
Journal Title: Лісівництво і агролісомеліорація - Year 2014, Vol 125, Issue
Abstract
In addressing the problem of reducing losses from wildfires is very important a quick and accurate prediction of post-fire tree mortality. The objects of research were pine forests of Rivne region damaged by surface fire.The sample plots were established in the stands of different ages, types of forest and with different value and type of fire damage. The effect of various values of damage in the pine forest stands after surface fires on their further development was studied. Correlations between the state of trees and the level of damage were revealed. A post-fire tree mortality depending from the post-fire period length and hygrotop (value of moisture in the sample plots) was detected. It was proved that the effect of the fire damage will be more catastrophic in the research sites with more moisture (hygrotopes with indexes 3 and 4, in Ukrainian classification).
