Abstract

The impact of surface fires varying intensity on the living ground vegetation in the middle-taiga forests of Central Siberia are studied. It is revealed that fires, regardless of their intensity, decrease the percentage cover and the biomass of living ground vegetation; they also destroy the moss and lichen layer. The postfire recovery of the ground vegetation at the initial stage of postfire succession is determined by the prefire forest type, the fire intensity, and the burn depth of the litter.
