Abstract
The article is devoted to the description of the web-GIS for mapping fire regimes in the Pechora-Ilych reserve and its environs. The main purpose of the resource is to provide the results of mapping fire regimes in the designated area to a wide range of researchers in an accessible form. Web-GIS allows organizing and storing the received thematic spatial data. The resource performs research and educational functions. The structure of the web-GIS includes the following sections: the study area, fire frequency indicators, fire regimes, fire regime condition class, and fire cycles. The web GIS was created using the ArcGIS StoryMaps tool on the ArcGIS Online platform. All sections use data from the ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World. Web-GIS allows receiving reference information about the indicators of fire frequency, fire cycles and regimes, as well as their deviations within the boundaries of the Pechora-Ilych nature reserve, district forestries, and spatial units. In particular, the results of a retrospective statistical analysis of forest fire indicators within spatial units (fire frequency, mean fire interval, etc.) are available for users.

Summary
The article is devoted to the description of the web-GIS for mapping fire regimes in the Pechora-Ilych reserve and its environs. Web-GIS allows receiving reference information about the indicators of fire frequency, fire cycles and regimes, as well as their deviations within the boundaries of the Pechora-Ilych nature reserve, district forestries, and spatial units. The purpose of this study was to create a web-GIS for providing the results of mapping the fire regimes of the Pechora-Ilych Reserve and its environs to a wide range of researchers in an accessible form. Web-GIS has many important features and functions: global coverage and ensuring simultaneous work of many users located anywhere in the world; cross-platform compatibility and a single update mechanism, no fees and no need to purchase specialized software; provision of easy access to the resource for non-specialists; publicly available spatial basis; data scaling option (Shokin, Potapov, 2015; Alekseenko et al, 2019)
