摘要

火灾是西伯利亚落叶松(Larix spp.)生态系统的主要森林干扰因素,该生态系统占北方森林生物群落的 20%,其下有大量受温度保护的土壤碳储量。火灾是落叶松森林持续存在的必要条件,但火灾也会改变林分组成和结构,对永久冻土、碳和反照率气候反馈产生重要影响。长期记录显示,在过去几十年里,西伯利亚落叶松林的燃烧面积有所增加,近年来的极端气候条件导致燃烧面积创下了新高。燃烧面积的增加有可能重构落叶松生态系统,但人们对这一偏远地区的火灾机制还不甚了解。在此,我们研究了 2001 年至 2020 年期间景观位置、地理气候变异和年际气候变异如何影响西伯利亚落叶松林的总燃烧面积、火灾次数和火灾规模。火灾次数与干旱指标(如水汽压差)呈正相关,而火灾规模与前一年的降水量呈负相关。火灾规模的空间变化主要受地貌位置的控制,较大的火灾发生在相对平坦、土壤有机碳含量高的低海拔地区。鉴于气候变化正在增加整个地区的水汽压差和降水量,我们的研究结果表明,未来的气候变化可能会导致更多但更小的火灾。此外,降水量变化的增加可能导致火灾规模出现前所未有的极端情况,未来的燃烧面积取决于气温和降水量同时增加的幅度和时间。

Controls over Fire Characteristics in Siberian Larch Forests

Controls over Fire Characteristics in Siberian Larch Forests

Fire is the major forest disturbance in Siberian larch (Larix spp.) ecosystems, which occupy 20% of the boreal forest biome and are underlain by large, temperature-protected stocks of soil carbon. Fire is necessary for the persistence of larch forests, but fire can also alter forest stand composition and structure, with important implications for permafrost and carbon and albedo climate feedbacks. Long-term records show that burned area has increased in Siberian larch forests over the past several decades, and extreme climate conditions in recent years have led to record burned areas. Such increases in burn area have the potential to restructure larch ecosystems, yet the fire regime in this remote region is not well understood. Here, we investigated how landscape position, geographic climate variation, and interannual climate variability from 2001 to 2020 affected total burn area, the number of fires, and fire size in Siberian larch forests. The number of fires was positively correlated with metrics of drought (for example, vapor pressure deficit), while fire size was negatively correlated with precipitation in the previous year. Spatial variation in fire size was primarily controlled by landscape position, with larger fires occurring in relatively flat, low-elevation areas with high levels of soil organic carbon. Given that climate change is increasing both vapor pressure deficit and precipitation across the region, our results suggest that future climate change could result in more but smaller fires. Additionally, increasing variability in precipitation could lead to unprecedented extremes in fire size, with future burned area dependent on the magnitude and timing of concurrent increases in temperature and precipitation.
