Investigations of the role of fire in the taiga forest formation are required for estimating and predicting forest resources. Our system of complex study of the role of fire in the forest formation process involves the determination of fire recurrence and the rate of forest fires in natural landscape complexes (NLC) of different complexity ranks (Furyaev 1988). In this system, combinations of factors are analyzed that are responsible for the pyrological regime of a facies, geographical forest blocks (GFB), geographical localities (GL), and landscape. The mean fire recurrence (= mean fire return interval [MFRI]) within a NLC over the past three centuries is considered as the major index of the pyroregime. Fire recurrence is an objective indicator of multi-year drought occurrence, particular NLC ecological regimes, intensity range of stand-replacement fires, as well as repeated fire occurrence depending on vegetation succession and the availability of fire sources. Fire-return intervals correspond to the mean frequency of extreme fire seasons in different NLCs, which is very important for the understanding, interpretation, and prediction of the forest formation process. Average multi-year rates of forest fires (i.e. area covered by fires) is used as a subsidiary index for characterizing a pyroregime.
