Abstract
Light coniferous species (Pinus spp., Larix spp.) dominate the forest area of the Trans-Baikal region and Mongolia. These species are of crucial importance for ecological stability in this region of south-eastern Siberia and a predominant feature of the Baikal Lake biosphere complex. The extreme continental climate (low annual precipitation) is associated with high fire risk. Environmental importance and high fire danger (as compared to adjacent forested areas) are the two factors accounting for the long-standing scientific interest to the productivity of light conifers in this region. From all anthropogenic and technogenic factors, forest fires cause the largest forest disturbance in the region of interest.
