Abstract
Wildfires seasonal cycle, air temperature anomalies and precipitation in four latitudinal zones of Eastern Siberia are analyzed by multidecadal remote sensing data and CRU TS dataset. Features of latitudinal distribution of small fire patches (0.2-20 ha) are discussed. Trends and correlations between number of small fire patches, air temperature anomalies and precipitation in each latitudinal zone and month of fire season are analyzed. In general, it can be noted that in the northern part of the boreal zone of Eastern Siberia (zones 1, 2) over the past two decades there has been a noticeable increase in wildfire activity in the first half of summer, possibly related to the effects of climate warming. The dynamics of the trends of small-scale fires in the southern part (zones 3, 4) is ambiguous, requiring further research.
