Abstract
Using statistical data, the dynamics of forest fires in the Volga federal district of the Russian Federation from 2000 to 2020 years is analyzed. The number and area of forest fires were considered as the initial data. At the same time, the total area of forest fire and of burned forests were taken into account separately. It was found that during the period under review, the minimum number of fires was recorded in 2000, and the maximum in 2018. Out of 14 subjects included in the Volga federal district, forest fires in the Republic of Bashkortostan were studied in detail. The dependence of the number of fires by season is established. Using correlation analysis of the statistical data for 2000-2020, the fact of strong dependence between the number of fires in the Volga federal district and forest area covered by fire was established.
Highlights
Forest fires are one of the main problems that threaten forest ecosystems around the world and have serious consequences
Considering the statistics for the period 2000-2020 among the federal districts, it can be noted that the Volga Federal District in 2000 ranks 7th in terms of the number of fires, in 2001 the number of forest fires increases by 39 %
The paper considers the main approaches used in the analysis of forest fires
Summary
Forest fires are one of the main problems that threaten forest ecosystems around the world and have serious consequences. Forest fires are investigated using statistical, satellite and meteorological data [1,2,3,4,5]. Statistics can be: official data of public bodies (ministries and departments); press releases and industry magazines. All this available sources of data have their quality [6]. All examined potential links between meteorological variables and forest fires in Serbia. For this purpose, data on daily temperature, precipitation, relative humidity and wind speed were used from 15 weather stations across of Serbia [5]
