Ecological Effects of Peat Fire on Forested Bog Ecosystems

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Forestry Sciences ((FOSC,volume 48))

Abstract

Persistent outbreaks of forest fire within large territories of the taiga zone are now considered an important factor influencing forest floor dynamics, structure, formation and productivity of current forest ecosystems (Volokitina 1985; Melekhov 1948; Sannikov 1981, 1983; Tkachenko 1939; Furyayev 1988) and soil formation (Popova 1975; Sapozhnikov 1976).
