Kushida","doi":"10.11196/KASAI.57.3_45","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.11196/KASAI.57.3_45","url":null,"abstract":"The boreal forest (Taiga) occupies one-third of the world’s forest area. During summer, the risk of fire is high in this region due to relatively low rainfall (average <300mm); Kasischke (2000). Recent trends toward warmer, drier summers associated with global climate change are expected to increase the number and size of boreal forest fires; Campbell and Flannigan (2000). Recent regional fire events appear to support these predictions. In 2002, many large-scale forest fires occurred near Yakutsk, the capital of the Sakha Republic in Siberia, burning a total area estimated at over 23,000km 2 -the largest reported in Sakha since 1955 and about ten times greater than mean burnt area, or about 2,400km 2 . In 2003, forests burned near the Baikal Lake in Siberia were especially severe, and burnt area in Russia (Siberia) totaled in excess of 234,000km 2 . In 2004, many large-scale forest fires occurred in Alaska due to record-breaking lightning strikes aggravated by severe drought conditions and the occurrence of foehn winds. The total burnt area in 2004 was about 26,000km 2 , the largest on historical record since 1956. In 2005, many large-scale forest fires recurred in Alaska. Many fires became very active in the middle of August due to drought and foehn winds. The total burnt area in 2005 was about 26,000km 2 , the third largest area since 1956. Active fire occurrence of two consecutive years has seldom occurred. Trends in and features of large forest-fire occurrence and weather hold the key to understanding how climate change may affect boreal ecosystems, and fire in the boreal forest is now being actively researched. Kasischke et al. (2002) studied the patterns of large fires over the last 50 years in Alaska by analyzing the large-fire database (LFDB) and other information. The influence of El Niño weather events was investigated by Hess et al. (2001), who concluded that many of the largest fire years occurred during or just after a warm ENSO episode. Stevens and Dallison (2005) urged that recent climate change in the boreal forest could substantially impact on the number and size of wildfires in Alaska and should be more thoroughly studied. New fire-management strategies may need to be explored under climate change to protect crucial wildlife habitats, subsistence resources, and human inhabitants in the boreal forest from incendiary impacts. The authors are now seeking strategies through comparative studies of forest fires and weather in Alaska, North America, and Sakha, Far Eastern Siberia.","PeriodicalId":168386,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Japan Association for Fire Science and Engineering","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128897274","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
