Postfire recovery of forest litter in Scots pine forests in two different regions of boreal zone.
Part I Climate Change Investigations carried out in the Kola peninsula (northern taiga) and in the South-western part of Western Siberia (southern taiga and forest-steppe) revealed identical course of the postfire restoration process of forest litter thickness in Scots pine forests. Despite the diff...
