Estimation of fire resistance of partially logged pine stands in the Krasnoyarsk forest-steppe
Scots pine forests are extremely fire hazardous. They show high fire frequency compared to other forest formations. This is due to their high natural fire danger, as along with high recreation activity, which is determined by a fairly dense road network and frequent forest attendance. Moreover, abou...

Scots pine forests are extremely fire hazardous. They show high fire frequency compared to other forest formations. This is due to their high natural fire danger, as along with high recreation activity, which is determined by a fairly dense road network and frequent forest attendance. Moreover, about 90 % of all forest fires are caused by residents. High fire frequency in the forest-steppe Scots pine stands results in silvicultural and economic waste. In the forest-steppe pine forests, partial logging (selective, gradual, etc.) is carried out quite frequently, which has a certain impact on fire danger, fire resistance and post-pyrogenic characteristics. One of the possible ways to reduce negative effects of forest fires is to improve resistance of Scots pine stands. The development of evidence-based fire prevention measures requires assessment of fire resistance. The paper identifies the main factors of fire resistance of Scots pine stands.
