Using MODIS data burned areas and post-fire dynamics of the Normalized Burn Ratio (NBR) were assessed for the southern regions of Central Siberia. The average burned area in the region was 230.1±152.4 thousand hectares. Between 2000 and 2023, a decreasing trend in the burned areas in the region was observed. The proportion of stand-replacement fires in the region was about 9% of the total burned area. To characterize post-fire NBR dynamics, linear regression was used, on the basis of MODIS data averaged over the growing season. Increasing trends in the NBR post-fire dynamics were observed for 76% of the burned area, while the absence of post-fire recovery was observed for 24 % of the burned area. Recovery of the normalized burn ratio to pre-fire values for mixed and light-coniferous forests in the region took 12–13 years, while for dark-coniferous forests this period was 14–15 years.
