Wildfire is an essential disturbance agent that creates burn mosaics, or a patchwork of burned and unburned areas across the landscape. Unburned patches, fire refugia, serve as carbon sinks and seed sources for forest regeneration in burned areas. In the Cajander larch (Larix cajanderi Mayr.) forests of north-eastern Siberia, an unprecedented wildfire season in 2020 and little documentation of landscape patch dynamics have resulted in research gaps about the characteristics of fire refugia in northern latitude forests, which are warming faster than other global forest ecosystems. We aim to characterize the 2010 distribution of fire refugia for these forest ecosystems and evaluate their topographic drivers.

2020年特殊火灾季节西伯利亚落叶松林未烧毁避难所的空间格局

野火是一种必不可少的干扰剂，它会产生烧伤马赛克，或整个景观中烧毁和未烧毁区域的拼凑。未烧毁的斑块、防火避难所可作为烧毁地区森林再生的碳汇和种子来源。在西伯利亚东北部的卡扬德落叶松 ( Larix cajanderi Mayr.) 森林中，2020 年前所未有的野火季节以及景观斑块动态的记录很少，导致对北纬森林防火避难所特征的研究空白，这些森林变暖更快高于其他全球森林生态系统。我们的目标是描述 2010 年这些森林生态系统的防火避难所的分布，并评估它们的地形驱动因素。
