We estimated forest areas experienced stand replacement fires in Siberia (between 50–75° N and 60–160° E). We used data on tree cover loss from the Global Forest Change (GFC) dataset and satellite data on burned areas in Siberia for the period 2001–2023. Tree cover loss was estimated for dominant tree species in the region, including larch stands, pine stands, dark coniferous and deciduous forests. Joint analysis allowed us to identify mean long-term proportion of fire-caused tree cover loss that varied between 20 and 90 % of the total tree cover loss reported by GFC for the Siberian region. Analysis of fire impact considering dominant tree species in Siberia showed that the proportion of stand replacement fires in light coniferous forests according to GFC varies between 40–90 % of the total area experienced tree cover loss; for dark coniferous and deciduous forests, this proportion was lower — between 20 and 40 %. It was shown that fires were responsible for 1.9 million hectares of tree cover loss of the total tree cover loss area of 2.6 million hectares. We also found a significant linear relationship with approximation reliability of 0.95 (level of significance p < 0.01) between the tree cover loss areas according to GFC product and the increase in the intensity of fires in Siberia in time periods of 2001–2012 and 2013–2023.
Keywords: forest fires, stand replacement fires, disturbance of vegetation cover, Siberia
