Space-time impact of fire events on swamp-forest ecosystems of the west Siberian Plain

An analysis of information on the groundwater dynamics, frequency of fire events, and postfire progressive-age stages of vegetation in the swamp-forest ecosystems of the southern taiga and forest-steppe zone of the West Siberian Plain has shown that fire events are a permanent factor that controls the scales and dynamics of the forest and swamp formation processes under these specific conditions in the modern era. The greatest influence on the dynamics of ecosystems is exerted by the frequency of fires. The scope and depth of the transformation of swamp ecosystems affected by the pyrogenic factor are due to their environmental regimes and have their own properties in different landscapes.
